WINDOWS WORKBENCH / SELF-HOSTED RELAY

Start at your desk. Across networks.

A local-first AI coding workbench that brings agents, models, and projects together, so development can continue securely between your computer and phone.

  • Claude Code
  • Codex CLI
  • OpenCode
  • Antigravity

Keep your PC running. Use a reachable HTTPS relay and desktop access token, or connect directly over a trusted LAN or VPN.

DIRECTION / USE CASES

Keep your AI development work connected.

Multiple projects and coding agents can mean scattered windows, missed approvals, and context to explain all over again. Termexo brings the work into view and helps you pick up where you left off.

Projects and tasks enter the local Termexo workbench, with optional remote access to continue from another device.

FOR INDIVIDUALS

More projects. Less switching.

  • Work, side projects, open source

    Keep each project's terminals, models, and layout together. Assign agents to implementation, tests, and review, then see who needs you.

  • Continue tomorrow, or with another agent

    Find a saved native session or prepare a handoff with the goal, progress, and next step. Spend less time repeating the background.

  • Step away without losing touch

    Leave your PC running and reconnect from your phone to check output, answer an approval, or send the next instruction.

FOR ENTERPRISE DEVELOPERS

Organize the work. Keep control.

  • Project work engineers can follow

    Group business projects into workspaces. Engineers use the task board and agent status to assign work, review results, and prepare handoffs.

  • Providers and environments in one place

    Manage model, account, and network profiles for different providers and compatible gateways, with quota visibility where supported.

  • Access to the development PC you manage

    Run the workbench on your organization's Windows PC. Use your own relay or trusted LAN / VPN to reconnect to long-running tasks.

01 / WORKBENCH

Four agents. One screen.

Open as many terminals as you like, then choose which ones stay visible and arrange them in a grid that fits how you work. Switch to another project and back, and everything is exactly where you left it.

Open as many as you want

Every session stays alive in a tab. Show the ones you are watching right now.

6 × 6 Arrange your own grid

Anything from 1 to 6 rows and columns. Each project remembers its own layout.

5+ Swap the model, keep the CLI

Same Claude Code you already know, pointed at a different provider.

0 Local by default

Your workbench runs on your PC. Remote access is optional, through a relay you manage or a trusted LAN / VPN.

02 / NEVER MISS ONE

It tells you when an agent is stuck.

An agent sitting on an approval prompt helps nobody if you are looking at a different window. Termexo flashes the taskbar, sends a system notification, and keeps a banner on screen until you deal with it — for every project you have open, not just the one in front of you.

  • Waiting for approval, waiting for input, and finished all look different at a glance
  • Works even when the Termexo window is already focused
  • Click the banner to jump straight to that terminal

03 / NOTHING IS LOST

Pick up yesterday's conversation.

Claude Code and Codex already save your sessions on disk. Termexo simply lists them so you can search and reopen one — it calls the CLI's own resume, so the full context comes back. Nothing you close is really lost.

  • Search across every project by name, path, branch, or model
  • Resumes through the real `claude --resume` and `codex resume`
  • Your session files are read-only — Termexo never edits or deletes them
04 / MODEL ROUTING

Same CLI. Different model.

Keep using Claude Code, but point it at DeepSeek, MiniMax, GLM, or your own compatible gateway. Save each one as a profile and switch between them in two clicks — no reinstalling, no editing config files by hand.

  • Anthropic, DeepSeek, MiniMax, GLM, or any compatible endpoint
  • API keys go into Windows Credential Manager, never a plain text file
  • Switch every Claude terminal in a project at once

05 / TASK BOARD

Hand the work to an agent.

Write down what needs doing and what counts as done, pick the agent and the project, and the task opens as a real terminal. It reports its own progress back to the board, so you can see what is running without reading four terminals at once.

  • Todo, executing, completed, verified — the terminal moves the card
  • Send a task to Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode
  • Reject a result with a note and it goes back for another round
06 / ANY DEVICE

Your workbench. Across networks.

Your desktop opens an outbound tunnel to your relay. Open the relay link on a phone, tablet, or another computer to check output and continue the same terminal session. The desktop needs no public IP or router port forwarding.

  • Self-host termexo-relay; enroll your desktop with a code or relay account
  • Use an HTTPS browser entry point; v2 session frames are encrypted with AES-256-GCM
  • Keep your desktop on and Termexo connected; relay login and the desktop access token are separate checks

Relay: Linux / macOS / Windows, x64 / arm64 and containers. Desktop app: Windows 10 / 11.

07 / FEATURES

The things you keep doing by hand.

Most of the friction with coding agents is not the model. It is remembering which terminal was doing what, and setting it all up again tomorrow.

WORKS TODAY

Close it. Reopen it. Still there.

Project folder, grid layout, which terminals were open, what model each was running, even the colour you picked — it all comes back with the workspace.

WORKS TODAY

Nothing you close is lost

Find any past Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Antigravity session across your projects and reopen it with its full history intact.

WORKS TODAY

Hand a task to an agent

Write down the task and what counts as done, pick an agent, and it opens as a real terminal that reports its own progress back to the board.

WORKS TODAY

Try a cheaper model on the same task

Point the same CLI at a different provider, switch back if the result is worse, and keep every key in secure storage.

Codex TestsTHINKING

Know the moment it needs you

Waiting, thinking, needs approval, done, failed — shown in the tab, the panel, and the taskbar, across every project at once.

WORKS TODAY

Works in your language

Follow Windows automatically or switch between Chinese, English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Korean at any time.

WORKS TODAY

See your quota before you burn it

Check how much of your plan is left and when it resets, before you decide which model to send the next task to.

WORKS TODAY

Reach your workbench across networks

A self-hosted relay connects your phone to the same desktop terminals. No public IP or router port forwarding on the desktop.

08 / ROADMAP

What comes next.

Everything above already works. Here is what has shipped, and what is being built next — anything still marked planned is not being sold as finished.

V0.3SHIPPED

Run several agents side by side

Claude and Codex detection, separate logins, resume, custom grids, model profiles, seven interface languages, and everything saved locally.

V0.4SHIPPED

Accounts, installs, and networks

Install or upgrade the CLIs in one click, keep several logins apart, set up proxies for a company network, and watch how much plan quota is left.

V0.5–0.6SHIPPED

Handing work between agents

Session summaries, moving a task from one agent to another, routing work, and notifications.

V0.10.0–0.10.1YOU ARE HERE

Remote relay access

Shipped in v0.10.0: self-hosted relay access, code or account enrollment, cascaded addresses, and v2 encrypted sessions. Your browser operates the terminals already running on your desktop.

09 / PRIVACY

Your work. On your computer.

Termexo runs locally by default. Enable remote access when you need it: use your own relay or a trusted LAN / VPN, control the desktop access token, and disconnect from Settings. Your agent CLIs still connect to the model services you configure.

01

Local by default

Your project paths, sessions, terminal state, and settings sit in a file on your disk. There is no cloud service to sign into.

02

Your API keys are not in a config files

Keys go into Windows Credential Manager. The app stores only a reference, and the interface can tell you a key exists but never show it back.

03

Your agent files are read-only

Termexo reads what Claude Code and Codex write, and uses their own resume commands. It never rewrites, renames, or deletes your session history.

BUILD WITH US

One command. No account.

The npm package includes the Windows app. Start locally without a Termexo account, then connect a self-hosted relay when you need access across networks.

Built in the open, under the MIT license. If Termexo helps your workflow, a GitHub Star helps others discover it. Bug reports and contributions are welcome too.
