BentoTerm vs Ajar

Your agents run for forty minutes at a time. Watching one is a waste of you — so you run several, and the problem becomes keeping track of them all. Bento Term is a terminal built for exactly that. A WHOLE TEAM, ONE SCREEN Every agent gets a pane, tinted by what it's doing: blue is working, amber is waiting for you, green is done and you haven't looked yet. You read the room instead of visiting each one. Parallel mode tiles everything; Focus mode gives one pane the whole screen with the rest in a sidebar. SAY IT, DON'T TYPE IT Hold on a pane and talk. Speaking is about three times faster than typing, and Bento reads the screen, so file names and technical words come out right — mixed Chinese/English included. Slide up to send, down to cancel. LEAVE THE DESK, NOT THE WORK Everything runs in tmux on your machine — your Mac, a Linux server, or WSL — over plain SSH, with nothing installed on the other end. Quit the app, close the laptop: nothing stops. Attach from iPhone or iPad mid-run and answer from wherever you are. EVERY DAY - The file tree of every pane's working directory. Tap a printed path and it opens with syntax highlighting, even at :42. PDFs and images too. - Panes move like windows: split, drag, drop — every move is a real tmux move. - Pick a folder, pick an agent, and Bento opens the panes and starts them. No shell needed. - Ten agents recognized out of the box — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and more — every profile editable, so a tool nobody has heard of yet is one profile away. BUILT LIKE A TERMINAL Native Swift, the same GPU renderer as Ghostty (libghostty), real tmux control mode (-CC). No accounts. Your terminal output never leaves your machines. Free and open source, Apache-2.0. Requires a machine you can ssh into with tmux installed. macOS, Linux and WSL all work.

Ajar is a native SSH terminal for returning to your Mac, Linux computer, or server from iPhone and iPad. Connect with your own SSH key and keep work running in tmux while you move between devices. Free features: • SSH and tmux: reattach named sessions, switch windows, and create, rename, or close tmux windows. • Multiple app windows on iPad: open different connections alongside your work. • Touch controls for Escape, Control, arrows, and Tab, plus hardware keyboard support. • Select and copy terminal output. Full-screen programs may keep their own history separately from tmux scrollback. • Saved connections, optional secure key storage protected by device authentication, and light and dark terminal themes. • Offline SSH and tmux guides with practical examples. Ajar Pro adds: • Conversation view of Claude Code and Codex from their own session logs, with read-aloud controls. • Screenshot paste and file transfer between your device and your connected computer. • Alerts when a shell command or agent turn finishes or an agent needs input. Tap an alert to return to its tmux window. Your computer must be reachable over SSH. tmux is required for persistent sessions. Conversation view requires Claude Code or Codex running in tmux and Python 3. Alerts require the completion helper, internet access, and notification permission. Some agent hooks require review in the agent’s own settings. No AI account is needed for the SSH terminal; coding-agent accounts are separate. Ajar Pro offers monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions. Prices and any eligible free trial are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings.
