Frequently asked questions.
What is TerminalPad?
TerminalPad is a free, open-source macOS launcher — a home screen for your terminal. It turns every AI coding agent and CLI you've installed into a tile you can launch with one keystroke, in a new terminal window with the right command and flags.
Which AI agents does it support?
Curated tiles for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Ollama, OpenCode, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor and more — each with per-mode variants. It also auto-discovers any other CLI you've installed via Homebrew, npm, pipx, cargo, go or bun.
How do I launch AI agents on my Mac?
Install TerminalPad, press ⌥⌘Space, and every AI agent you have shows up as a tile. Click one (or type and hit Enter) and it opens in a new terminal window running the exact command — so you launch any AI agent on macOS in a single keystroke, without remembering commands or flags.
Is it free?
Yes — completely free and open source under the MIT license. No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel — it's a universal binary. You only need the Swift toolchain (xcode-select --install) to build it; full Xcode is not required.
How do I install it?
Clone the repo and run ./install.sh. It builds from source and drops the app in /Applications. Because you compile it yourself, there's no Gatekeeper warning and no $99 Apple Developer account required.
Does TerminalPad collect any data?
No. No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts — your config stays on your Mac. The app makes only two anonymous requests: fetching brand logos and an optional update check. See the privacy policy.
Stop typing the same flags.
Make your agents one keystroke away.
