cd into a project

Its root or any folder inside it. Or press ⌘L and type part of its name.

DevTerminal reads it

Gradle, Xcode, package.json, Cargo.toml, manage.py… it knows 18 kinds of project and picks the command.

Press ⌘R

It builds, installs, launches and streams the logs in the run panel. Press it again to restart.

Projects

Knows the stacks you already use

DevTerminal follows your shell's folder and finds the nearest project. In a folder full of repos, Run lets you pick one. Anything it doesn't know, you can teach it.

Android

Installs on your phone or an emulator, streams logcat

iOS

Builds for a Simulator or iPhone, attaches the console

macOS

Builds and runs the app with its logs

Spring Boot

./gradlew bootRun or ./mvnw spring-boot:run

Next.js

npm run dev with your lockfile's package manager

Vite

npm run dev, installing first if node_modules is missing

React Native

Your package.json scripts: start, android, ios…

Flutter

flutter run, type r to hot reload

Swift Package

Android

Your phone, one keypress away

Pick a connected phone or an emulator and press ⌘R. DevTerminal builds the variant you chose, installs it, launches it and streams its logcat. Add an Emulator downloads whatever is missing and creates a Pixel 10 Pro, Fold or Tablet, no Android Studio needed.

Build variantsProduct flavorsLogcatEmulator installStop force-stops the app

iOS & macOS

Simulator or iPhone, same button

Every simulator, newest iOS first, plus the iPhones you've paired. Run builds the scheme, installs it and attaches the app's console, so your logs show up right there. Schemes that launch in Debug come first.

Run panel

Output that stays out of your shell's way

Runs open in a panel at the bottom of the tab, so your shell stays free. Find with ⌘F, filter down to the lines that match while new ones arrive, and type into the running app, like Flutter's r. Stop asks nicely first, then insists.

Servers & web

Backends and dev servers too

Spring Boot runs bootRun with the profile you pick. package.json projects run dev with your lockfile's package manager, installing first when node_modules is missing. Build, Test and Clean have Xcode's keys everywhere.

Run

Everyday

And the rest of the time, a terminal you'll like

ios

api

Tabs that work like Chrome's

Drag to reorder, ⌘1–⌘9 to jump. Each tab has its own shell, its project's icon, and a spinner while something runs.

habi

An address bar for folders

Press ⌘L, type part of a name, press return. Recent projects and folders show up as you type.

// .devterminal.json
{
  "name": "Keywords tracker",
  "run": "python3 track.py",
  "actions": [{
    "title": "Report",
    "command": "python3 track.py --report"
  }]
}

Your own Run commands

Drop a .devterminal.json in any folder to set what Run does and add actions to its menu.

Behavior

Built like a Mac app should be

Your shell, your PATH

Runs your login shell with your config: nvm, Homebrew, JAVA_HOME and the rest, exactly as you set them up.

Drop files to paste their paths

Escaped the way Terminal.app does it. Dropping a screenshot into Claude Code attaches it.

No account, no tracking

Apart from downloads you ask for, it only talks to Polar: to activate your key, then about once a week to check it.

Works offline

Activating needs the internet once. After that, being offline never locks you out.

Native and notarized

A native Mac app for Apple silicon and Intel, signed by its developer and notarized by Apple.

Keys you already know

⌘R, ⌘B, ⌘U and ⇧⌘K like Xcode, ⌘T and ⌘L like Chrome, ⌘K to clear.

FAQ

Questions

Is there a free trial?

No. Instead, there's a 14-day money-back guarantee: if DevTerminal isn't for you, ask for a refund and you get all of it back.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and the license never expires. Free updates for every 1.x version.

How many Macs can I use it on?

3. To move your license to another Mac, deactivate it in DevTerminal → License… and activate it on the new one.

Does it replace Terminal or iTerm2?

It's a full terminal, with tabs, your shell and your config, and the Run button on top. Use it for everything, or just for your projects.

Do I need Android Studio or Xcode?

For Android, you need what Gradle needs to build your app (a JDK and the Android SDK). DevTerminal installs emulators and their system images itself, so you don't need Android Studio to run on one. For iOS and macOS apps, Xcode needs to be installed; DevTerminal drives it for you.

What does it send over the internet?

Your license key and your Mac's name go to Polar when you activate, and about once a week to check the key is still valid. Nothing else, apart from downloads you start yourself, like an emulator's system image from Google. No analytics, no account.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Activating needs the internet once; after that, being offline never locks you out.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of buying, no questions asked. Your license key stops working when the refund goes through. Write to support@devterminal.app.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
