Tabs grouped by the server they connect to, splits that open in the same place, and a drawer for history, snippets and what your AI agents are running. It looks good before you touch a single setting.
Each connection gets its own color and its own set of tabs. A new tab in the group opens instantly, already signed in.
Right-click, a toolbar button or a shortcut. The new pane opens on the same host, in the same folder.
Hosts, history, snippets and activity slide out to the right. The window grows, so your terminal keeps its width.
Demo
Switch hosts at the top, split the pane, open the drawer and run something from history. Nothing here connects anywhere.
This demo runs in your browser. The real app uses ConPTY, xterm.js and your own shells.
The real app
Connecting, splitting, history, the activity drawer and a theme change, recorded from the app itself with sample hosts.
No sound. Recorded on Windows 11.
Features
Built for people who live on a few servers, and for people who would rather click than remember flags.
Reads ~/.ssh/config including # @group and @color comments, and lists Vagrant machines with start, stop and connect buttons.
Every command with its host, folder, exit code and time. Click ▶ and it runs again on the host it came from.
Save the commands you always look up. {{name:default}} turns into a small form with a live preview.
When an AI CLI starts child processes, the Activity drawer shows each one: command, folder, time, CPU and exit code.
Shell integration knows where each command's output starts and ends, so you can copy exactly that, ready to paste anywhere.
A quiet starry sky, a green scheme made for it, a tidy prompt and bundled fonts. Or bring your own image and color scheme.
Keyboard
Click when you are learning. Use the keys once you know them.
Themes
The UI accent follows the scheme, so Amber CRT makes the whole app amber. Click one to try it in the demo.
Privacy
Terminal history is full of server names, paths and the odd password. Asterism keeps it to itself.
Pricing
The trial has no limits. If you like it, pay once and keep it for life, with every update included.
Requires Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Version 0.1.0 (preview).
I wanted a terminal where my servers sit together like stars in a constellation, and where I can see what my AI agents are doing. Asterism is that terminal.

PowerShell, Windows PowerShell, cmd, Git Bash and WSL are detected automatically. SSH uses the OpenSSH that ships with Windows.
No. The prompt and shell integration are loaded by Asterism when it starts a shell. Your profile, .bashrc and ~/.ssh/config are left alone.
No. The terminal works fully without AI. The Activity drawer watches processes on your PC and needs no AI service at all.
You can no longer open new terminals. Your settings, hosts, history and snippets are all kept, so as soon as you enter a license key, everything is back the way you left it.
Yes. Activation needs an internet connection, but after that it keeps working offline for 30 days from the last check. Apart from that, only update checks use the network.
As many as you like. The license is for you, not for a machine: your desktop, your laptop and your virtual machines are all covered. Please buy one license per person.
Not yet. Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) comes first. A macOS and Linux version is a goal, not a promise. If it comes, your license will cover it too.
Yes. Pick any image (brightness is adjusted so text stays readable) and import color schemes from Windows Terminal or iTerm2.
We refund within 14 days of purchase if Asterism does not work properly on a PC that meets the requirements and support cannot fix it, or if you bought twice by mistake. See the refund policy for details.
