Roost
A native Mac terminal built around AI coding agents
Roost is a free, native macOS terminal built around AI coding agents. See what every agent is doing from the sidebar, get notified when one needs you, and quit anytime — your panes and your Claude conversations come back exactly where they were.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I run several Claude Code sessions at once, and plain terminals were never
built for that: every tab looks the same, you can't tell which agent is
waiting for you, and quitting the app throws away every running conversation.
Roost is the terminal I built to live in:
🪺 Everything comes back. Quit, reboot, reopen — your window layout, working
directories, and the exact Claude conversation in each tab resume where they
were. Claude reports which session belongs to which tab, so nothing is guessed.
👀 You can see your agents. The sidebar lists every agent with its real state
— working, your turn, replied, or asleep (zzz) — plus the one line you most
want to know: why it's blocked, or what it just answered. Click a row to land
on that tab. Notifications take you to the tab they came from.
🌿 Git without leaving. Commit, switch branches, follow the commit graph, and
review or merge pull requests — for the repo you're in and every repo one
level down, all in the same window.
⚡ Native and light. Swift + AppKit, rendered by ghostty (libghostty).
Near-zero CPU while your agents idle in the background.
Roost is free. macOS 14+, Apple Silicon.
Honest notes: it's Mac-only, and it's young (0.2.x) — I ship updates roughly
every week and read every piece of feedback. Tell me what your agent workflow
is missing and there's a good chance it lands in the next release. 🙏
