Better Agent Terminal is an open-source project designed to streamline developer workflows by combining multi-workspace terminal management with AI agent capabilities. Built with Tauri, it offers a Rust/Tauri host and a React renderer, moving away from an Electron-only runtime. Key features include organizing terminals by project folders, drag-and-drop workspace reordering, and customizable environment variables per workspace. The application integrates a Claude Code AI agent via SDK, allowing for direct interaction within the app without needing a separate terminal. It supports various permission modes for tool execution, from individual approval to full auto-approval, and includes subagent tracking and session management. Additionally, it provides a file browser with syntax highlighting, Git integration for commit logs and diffs, a snippet manager, and a Markdown previewer.
