Axon Terminal — start screen

Features

See everything, no scrolling

In the CLI you lose context scrolling. Here everything has its place: conversation, tools, shell, thinking, diff, tasks — all visible at once.

Axon Terminal — workspace with panels, conversation and filetree

Stop switching between windows

Every time you need to run a command, you leave Claude, open another terminal, come back. PowerShell or CMD built in — Ctrl+` and done, without losing your flow.

Axon Terminal — integrated terminal, git branches and StatusLine

Focus without the noise

Too many panels, too much information. Zen mode hides everything except the conversation so it is just you and Claude. Move your mouse to the edges when you need something.

Axon Terminal — zen mode

The whole ecosystem, no digging

MCP servers, skills, agents, permissions — in Claude Code you configure them blindly. Here they are all in dedicated panels where you can see and manage them.

Axon Terminal — MCP servers, skills, agents and permissions

Stop opening windows for each project

Multiple independent sessions in the same app. Pop out any panel as a floating window if you need it always in sight.

Axon Terminal — floating pop-out window and dialogs

▰

Track your spending

Tokens, accumulated cost, model, context used, and duration. Always visible in the StatusLine. No billing surprises.

±

Review changes before it's too late

Real-time side-by-side diff. See exactly what Claude is changing in your code as it happens, not after.

⊟

Don't lose track of what it touched

Claude edits 15 files and you have no idea which ones. File tree with live git status, +N/-N per file, and change heatmap. One click to see the diff.

↻

Sessions that never get lost

Close the app, come back tomorrow. If something crashes, it reconnects automatically. Your sessions are saved and resume with full context.

◉

Hands on code, not on the prompt

Describe what you need by voice and keep working. Configurable push-to-talk, optional wake word, and you decide if it sends automatically or you edit first.

◈

No fear of breaking things

Claude edits directly in your folder by default. If you prefer, enable worktree and review changes before applying them.

◆

Your environment, your rules

Every developer works differently. 13 themes, configurable fonts, transparency, and a layout that adapts to you — not the other way around.

Usage

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11 (x64)
  • docs.requirements.2_preClaude Code CLI installed and configured
  • Claude Code subscription or Anthropic API key

Quick start

  1. Download and install the .exe
  2. Open Axon Terminal
  3. Select a working folder
  4. Choose a model (Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.6 1M / Haiku 4.5)
  5. Click "Start session"

Panels

12+ panels: conversation, tools, bash, thinking, tasks, diff, filetree, background, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP. Each one can be:

  • Popped out as an always-on-top floating window
  • Shown/hidden from the tab bar
  • Resized by dragging the edges

Direct mode + worktree

By default, Claude edits directly in your project folder. If you prefer isolation:

  • Worktree — enable sandbox: Claude works on a temporary copy
  • Merge / Discard — when done, apply changes or discard

Changelog

v1.0.4 2026-05-06
  • Pasting an image left the message bubble empty — now you see the thumbnail you expected
