Everything you can do with Axon Terminal.

Panels

Over 12 specialized panels. Each one can be shown or hidden, resized, and extracted as an independent always-on-top floating window.

  • Conversation — The chat with Claude. Rendered Markdown, syntax highlighting in over 100 programming languages.
  • Tools — See exactly which tools Claude executes on each turn (Read, Edit, Bash...) with the input and output of each one, collapsible.
  • Shell — All bash commands Claude runs, with full and expandable output. No need to search for them among messages.
  • Think — Claude's internal reasoning, turn by turn. Useful for understanding why it makes each decision.
  • Tasks — Task list with statuses (pending, in progress, completed) and a progress bar. Know where Claude is without asking.
  • Files — Project file tree with live git status (M/A/D), +N/-N indicators per file, visual change heatmap, and ignored files dimmed. Click any file to see its diff instantly.
  • Diff — Real-time side-by-side comparison. See exactly what Claude is touching in your code as it does it, with line numbers and auto-refresh.
  • Background — Background processes: agents, loops, long-running tasks. Without blocking the main conversation.
  • Agents — Visualize sub-agents Claude launches in parallel, with their status and result.
  • Skills — Skills and custom commands registered in the session.
  • Hooks — Configured hooks with their execution status.
  • MCP — Model Context Protocol servers connected, with health check and live connection status.
  • Pop-out — Any panel can be extracted as an independent floating window. Put it on another monitor or on top of other windows.
