tabsh

tabsh is a free, open-source tool that puts your terminal shells and coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, OpenCode) in a browser tab, with a board and list of every task across projects, backed by a small local Rust daemon.

Why it matters

For developers who live in the browser and keep switching out to a terminal to check on agents. tabsh makes the shell another tab and keeps every agent card, across every project, in one scrollable list.

Highlights

• One list or board of cards across all projects, grouped by status (Backlog, In progress, Needs input, Completed, Archived).
• Pick the agent per card: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, OpenCode or any CLI that takes a prompt, shown as a real terminal or a chat panel.
• Shells survive tab closes, reloads and restarts, with tabs, folders and scrollback restored.
• The daemon listens only on 127.0.0.1, so keystrokes stay local; optional pairing with a phone or laptop goes over Tailscale and is off by default.
• No worktrees: agents run in your own checkout and branch, which the maker notes means two agents in one checkout can collide.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Worth knowing: It's a browser front end to a shell on your machine; the maker warns not to expose the daemon's port on a network, since that would be plain HTTP to a shell.
