Ship with a fleet of agents,
from one native terminal.

mango is the agentic terminal for macOS. Panes, workspaces and a review suite built for Claude, Codex, Gemini and five more CLIs, detected per pane the moment they run.

mango GUI: four terminal panes, Claude detected as running in the AI providers panel

Your dev loop, agentified.

Everything below is a real engine behind a real control. House policy: no decorative toggles.

Single, split, quad. Absolute.

Every layout button yields exactly that layout, whatever was on screen. Smart ＋ adds one more set. Canvas mode frees panes into draggable, snapping rectangles that persist.

  • Surfaces: terminal tabs inside any pane, rename on double-click
  • Courier New 16 first-run default, OS font picker in Settings
  • Theme pick restyles every pane's font at once; ring takes the text color
Quad layout: four terminal panes

The badge lights only when the agent is really running.

mango polls each pane's PTY foreground process group. A provider shows as active when its CLI is the program the pane runs, never because the word scrolled past in output.

  • Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Aider, KiMi, Qwen
  • working / blocked / idle from output cadence + approval prompts
  • Side panel: cwd, listening ports, branches, PR counts, SSH machines

Review AI output before it ships.

Diff panel on ⌘R, line comments batched straight back to the agent, commit and push, branch chip, worktree checkpoints you can roll back to.

  • Parallel git-worktree fan-out for many agents on one repo
  • gh-backed PRs and issues from the panel
  • Output triggers: regex => highlight | notify | run: cmd
Review panel: a real diff with line comments, commit and checkpoint

A browser pane and a Monaco editor, in the grid.

Search engines, allow and external host lists, bookmark import (never cookies), downloads routing, a Design-Mode element picker. Monaco with live options and a vendored TypeScript language service.

  • Markdown viewer with its own escaping converter
  • Inline images (SIXEL / iTerm), file-path and URL link providers
  • WebGL renderer, Unicode 11 widths, ligatures, kitty keyboard flag 1

Drive it headless. Script it from any agent.

mango server runs a multi-pane server with a self-describing JSON socket API: pane_*, agent_wait / agent_prompt, scheduled automations with prechecks, socket modes full / readonly / off.

  • Plugin system with manifests and gated events
  • MCP registry + Claude export, transcript vault search/resume
  • tmux interop, shell completions, SSH machine registry

Agent-first, end to end.

Notifications that reach you

OSC 9 / 777 to unread rings, flash variants, synthesized or file sounds with per-agent overrides, macOS banners, Dock badge, menu-bar item, needs-input and agent-done alerts. OSC 9;4 progress bars under pane headers.

Workspaces

Named layouts with colors, groups, ordering and boot default. Themes and workspaces that share a name stay in sync, both ways.

Broadcast input

⌃⌘I sends keystrokes to every pane. Export pane text, paste history, word completion from scrollback.

Password-aware

Termios ECHO polling flags password prompts with a lock. Paste-confirm guards multi-line pastes.

Settings that do things

11 sections, ~100 controls, every row drives an engine. 17 UI languages. Importers for iTerm2, Alacritty, kitty, Warp, WezTerm and Ghostty themes. Global hotkey ⌃⌥⌘M.

TUI, too

tmux-style prefix, Crus quad, worktree fan-out, per-pane themes, notification center, fuzzy quick-open. Same crates.

Bring your own agent
and subscription.

No wrapper, no middleman. Run the CLI you already pay for. mango watches the process, not the prose.

Recorded from the real app: launch, 1 → 2 → 4 panes, themes and fonts, workspaces, ＋ up to 24 panes.

Questions.

What is mango?

A native macOS terminal, TUI and GUI in one Rust codebase, designed around running and supervising AI coding agents in panes.

Is it free?

The app ships as an ad-hoc signed DMG from this repo. Source is in the workspace; see LICENSE and NOTICE.

Which agents are detected?

Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Aider, KiMi and Qwen. Detection is by the pane's foreground process, so a badge means the CLI is actually running.

Does it replace tmux?

No. It interoperates: mango local-tmux, a tmux-style prefix in the TUI, and tmux keymap presets in the GUI.

Is it a copy of cmux or orca?

No. Clean-room: behaviors were reimplemented from observation, never from source. See the plan docs for the licensing audit.

Known limits?

Documented, not hidden: kitty APC graphics and live PTY handoff are upstream-blocked.
