Built for developers shipping with AI agents.

Every feature designed around the way coding agents change your workflow.

Multi-Layer Agent Detection

Hooks, OSC sequences, pattern matching, and timing heuristics work together to detect local coding agents in real time. Dashboard, timeline, and smart routing built in.

Agent Code Review Panel

Review every change an agent made in a native diff viewer. Comment inline, submit feedback through the PTY, accept or reject individual hunks. Cmd+Option+R to open.

Native Markdown Workspace

Live preview with Mermaid, KaTeX, callouts, and footnotes. Editable source with undo and Find bar. Outline sidebar, git blame, multi-file search, slide export. QuickLook extension for Finder.

Remote Workspaces

SSH multiplexing with persistent sessions, SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT proxy with system-wide macOS integration, multi-channel agent relay with HMAC auth, and a POSIX remote daemon. Zero server installation.

Built-in Browser

Profiles, DevTools, bookmarks, downloads. Split browser alongside terminal. Preview localhost without leaving your workflow.

Zero Telemetry

No telemetry pipeline, no analytics SDK, no automatic crash upload, and no tracking. Terminal activity is not uploaded to a Cocxy backend.

GPU Terminal Engine

Metal-accelerated rendering via CocxyCore. 120 fps smooth scrolling. Font ligatures, inline image protocols, GPU-accelerated regex search. Native performance, no Electron.

100+ Command CLI Companion

Unix socket API for full scriptability. Manage tabs, agents, plugins, sessions, remote connections, dashboards, and reviews from the shell.

Plugin System

Event-driven plugins with sandboxed execution. Respond to eight terminal events with custom scripts. Extend Cocxy to fit your workflow.

Per-Project Config

Drop a .cocxy.toml in any project to override fonts, opacity, detection rules, and shortcuts. Hot-reload included. AppleScript automation built in.

Web Terminal Embed

Expose any local terminal over HTTP with a zero-dependency frontend. Tunable frame rate, connection counts, per-terminal attach and detach.

Shell Integration

Native integration for zsh, bash, and fish installed automatically. OSC 7 CWD tracking, OSC 133 command boundaries, and env-safe bootstrap that preserves your existing framework.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to the questions people ask us most.

What is Cocxy Terminal?

Cocxy is a native macOS terminal built for developers working with AI coding agents. It detects agent state in real time, lets you review agent changes inline with a code review panel, and includes a full Markdown workspace. It runs on Metal for GPU rendering, has zero telemetry, and is MIT licensed.

Which AI coding agents does Cocxy support?

Bundled profiles cover hook-capable, OSC-aware, pattern-only, and timing-fallback local agents. Detection works across four layers: hooks, OSC escape sequences, pattern matching, and timing. Custom agents can be defined in ~/.config/cocxy/agents.toml.

Is Cocxy Terminal free?

Yes. Cocxy is free and open source under the MIT license. No paid tier, no sign-up, no account required.

Does Cocxy collect any data?

No. Cocxy has no telemetry pipeline, no analytics SDK, no automatic crash upload, and no tracking. Network use exists only for signed updates and explicit user actions such as browser sessions, remotes, GitHub CLI operations, plugins, or tools you run yourself. Terminal activity is not uploaded to a Cocxy backend.

How do I install Cocxy on macOS?

Homebrew: brew tap salp2403/tap && brew install --cask cocxy. Or download the signed and notarized DMG from the Releases page. Requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later on Apple Silicon or Intel.

What is the Agent Code Review Panel?

A native panel that shows every file an agent changed during a session. Browse the diff, comment inline on any line, accept or reject individual hunks with git apply, and submit comments back to the agent as formatted feedback. Open it with Cmd+Option+R.

Can I use Cocxy as my daily driver terminal?

Yes. Cocxy is a full-featured terminal emulator with Metal-accelerated rendering, font ligatures, inline image display, multi-tab and split panes, scrollback search, shell integration for zsh, bash, and fish, and SSH multiplexing. It works as a drop-in replacement.

Does Cocxy work with my existing zsh or bash setup?

Yes. Cocxy's shell integration is designed to coexist with Prezto, Oh My Zsh, YADR, starship, and custom prompts. It restores your original ZDOTDIR, HOME, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME before loading your framework, so nothing about your shell changes.

Can Cocxy connect to remote servers?

Yes, with first-class remote support: SSH multiplexing, persistent tmux-backed sessions, SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT system proxy, multi-channel agent relay with HMAC auth, and a POSIX remote daemon for port forwarding and file sync. All from the client, no server installation required.

Is Cocxy open source?

Yes. Every line of code is public at github.com/salp2403/cocxy-terminal under the MIT license. Fork it, audit it, contribute.
