Kovan Term

English · Türkçe

A lightweight Windows app that runs AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI…) side by side on an infinite canvas, each in its own real terminal.

⚠️ Early development (v0.1). Roadmap: docs/roadmap.md

Why?

Juggling several agents across terminal tabs is hard. Electron-based canvas apps (OpenCove, TermCanvas) solve this but are heavy. Kovan Term goes after the same idea with native .NET/WPF and Windows Terminal's GPU-accelerated terminal control, keeping resource usage low: 4 terminals use ~190 MB of RAM, about 3.5× less than an xterm.js-in-WebView2 equivalent (measurement).

Features

  • Infinite canvas you can pan and zoom
  • Real terminals as draggable, resizable nodes on the canvas
  • Profiles: PowerShell, cmd, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, plus your own (docs/profiles.md)
  • Pick a working directory; right-click the canvas for "New terminal here"
  • The workspace is saved automatically and restored on startup
  • Keyboard shortcuts: switch between terminals, fit all, zoom to a terminal (docs/shortcuts.md)
  • Smooth panning and zooming with "snapshot mode"; off-screen terminals sleep
  • Windows 11 look (Mica, Fluent controls) with light, dark or follow-Windows themes

Requirements

  • Windows 10 1903+ / Windows 11
  • The CLIs for the agents you want to use (e.g. claude) on your PATH

Install

Download KovanTerm-<version>-win-x64.zip from the Releases page, extract it to a folder and run KovanTerm.exe. No .NET installation needed. The executable isn't signed yet, so if SmartScreen warns you, choose "More info → Run anyway".

Run from source

Requires the .NET 10 SDK.

git clone https://github.com/MuhammedKaradas/kovan-term.git
cd kovan-term
dotnet run --project src/KovanTerm -c Release
