Getting Started

1. Install

Download the latest public release. On macOS, choose the installer matching Apple Silicon or Intel and drag the app to Applications. On Windows, run the Setup .exe.

2. Open a project workspace

Drop an existing project folder onto Termdock to create a workspace. Use separate workspaces to organize each project’s terminals and file views. You can switch projects with Cmd+P on macOS or Ctrl+P on Windows.

3. Create a terminal

In the project workspace, press Cmd+T on macOS or Ctrl+T on Windows. Run a shell command or an installed AI CLI. Managed agent sessions support Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitLab Duo, and OpenCode; install the relevant CLI separately.

pwd
termdock identify --json

Use split panes to watch several terminals. Drag a terminal into the dock to park it and retrieve it when needed. API-created background sessions can run without occupying a pane.

4. Essential shortcuts

Use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows for the combinations below. Number shortcuts select layouts, not numbered terminal tabs.

• Cmd/Ctrl+T: new terminal; Cmd/Ctrl+W: close the current terminal.
• Cmd/Ctrl+P: workspace picker; Cmd/Ctrl+B: toggle the sidebar.
• Cmd/Ctrl+1: single pane; +2: horizontal split; +3: vertical split; +4: quad layout.
• Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F: file search; Cmd/Ctrl+,: Settings.
