[01] NAMED WORKSPACES
Put your problems
in little departments.
“work,” “personal,” and “this-was-supposed-to-take-ten-minutes.” Finally, a place for every crisis.
Organization ≠ resolution.
01 / Organizational excellence
Chaos, but with
a reporting structure.
Same existential dread. Much better session names.
Put your problems
[02] AGENT STATUS
Know exactly who
is waiting on you.
Active. Blocked. Done. Those little status glyphs turn vague anxiety into an actionable queue of specific anxieties.
You are the bottleneck. Visibly.
[03] FULL CONTROL API
Automate the act
of looking busy.
Let scripts create sessions, type into panes, and read the output. Delegate your delegation. Become management’s management.
A local socket. A global sense of importance.
02 / Mandatory management training
One tiny feature.
What could go wrong?
A fictional simulation. No agents, repositories, or sensible engineering practices were harmed.
Your task: change a button color. Your strategy: throw more agents at it. Your quarterly review: pending.
ACTIVE DIRECT REPORTS1Estimated delivery: after lunch.

[agent-01] Sure. Just checking the existing styles.
[you] This should be straightforward.
Before agterm, I had 19 tabs and no idea what was happening. Now I have 19 named sessions and know exactly how bad it is.— A fictional engineer, recently promoted against their will
03 / Onboarding paperwork
Unfortunately,
the terminal is good.
The jokes are fake. The app is real: native macOS, named workspaces, a full control API, and Ghostty’s engine underneath.

Visit the responsible website04 / Questions from HR
We’ve anticipated
your objections.
Is this actually the official website?
No. This is an affectionate parody. The real product lives at agterm.com and has considerably less paperwork.
Does agterm make my agents smarter?
It organizes their sessions. If an agent proposes rewriting your app to change a margin, at least you’ll know which one.
Why not just use tabs?
You can. You can also name all your files “final-final-v7-REAL.” Some traditions deserve to end.
Where’s the enterprise pricing?
It’s open source. Please expense a coffee and pretend you negotiated a very competitive contract.
Does it have a built-in AI revolution?
It has a terminal and a control API. The revolution is your problem. We’ve provided a place to run it.
