A terminal for Cursor CLI
coterm is a native macOS terminal built for running AI coding agents, and Cursor CLI is a first-class fit. coterm is just a terminal, so cursor-agent runs in any workspace out of the box, and the things that make running agents painful, keeping track of many at once and noticing when they need you, are what coterm is built for.
Run many Cursor CLI sessions, organized
Open a workspace per task and run Cursor CLI in each. The vertical sidebar shows every workspace with its git branch, directory, ports, and the latest line of output, so a dozen parallel sessions stay legible instead of buried in tabs.
Notification rings when the agent needs you
When Cursor CLI finishes or asks for input, the pane rings and the sidebar shows an unread badge, so you can let several agents run and come back to the one that needs a decision. Notifications fire automatically, and you can also trigger them from shell hooks.
Check on Cursor CLI from your phone
coterm has an iOS companion app (beta): pair your iPhone with your Mac and check on your Cursor CLI sessions, with optional notification forwarding, while you are away from the desk.
Scriptable
Every action is available through the coterm CLI and a Unix socket: create a workspace, launch Cursor CLI in it, send input, read the screen, and drive an in-app browser to verify changes, all from a script.
