Termside 0.8.0

Termside 0.8.0 makes it easier to find your sessions, move between split panes, and use your preferred coding agents.

Find sessions and commands with ⌘K

Open the new Command Palette with ⌘K or from the View menu. Search by session, agent, project, or workspace name, then press Return to jump straight to the right pane in its existing window. Sessions with a blue attention dot appear first when you open the palette, followed by recent sessions.

You can also run common actions. Type “new” to create a workspace, add a project, or open the terminal and agent launcher. Search for split commands or Settings, with shortcuts and destinations shown alongside the results.

⌘K now opens the palette. To clear a terminal screen, choose Terminal → Clear Terminal Screen.

Bring your own agents

Add custom agents in Settings → Agents using a name, executable, and launch arguments. Reorder them alongside the built-in agents, or edit, disable, and remove their launchers. Existing sessions keep their configuration when a launcher changes or is deleted.

Reopening a custom agent starts a fresh process; automatic conversation resume is not included for custom agents.

More comfortable split views

• Inactive panes are dimmed so the active terminal is easier to spot at a glance. Adjust the strength or turn dimming off in Settings. Dimming only applies to split layouts, and macOS Increase Contrast limits its strength to keep text more readable.
• Press ⌘⌥ and an arrow key to focus the pane in that direction. Use Control-Tab and Control-Shift-Tab to move between sessions.
• Double-click a session in the sidebar to open the rename dialog with its name selected, just like the existing right-click Rename action.

Reliability improvements

• Claude sessions now remember conversation changes made with /resume, /branch, and /clear, so reopening Termside returns to the latest conversation. If it cannot be restored, you can choose another conversation, start fresh, or retry. Conversation tracking requires Claude hooks to be enabled.
• Improved focus handling so an older focus request cannot pull you away from the split pane you just selected.
• Sidebar selection remains responsive after custom agents are removed, including when their sessions are restored later.
• Terminal navigation shortcuts respect text fields and dialogs, and Close Pane remains available for running command views.
