BentoTerm
Run a fleet of Claude Code agents side by side. Each window shows whether its agent is working, finished or waiting on you.
Tabs show you one agent and hide the rest. BentoTerm keeps every agent on the desktop where you can see it.
BentoTerm checks which process holds each terminal, then times the silence. If output stops for three seconds while a command is still running, the window turns orange. For a Claude Code session, orange means the agent needs your answer.
When a command finishes, its window header shows what ran, for how long, and when it ended.
Hold ⌘ and scroll to switch a window between compact, standard and hero. Pinch to change the font size.
Drag a window within 15px of another and it locks in place with an 8px gap and a click.
Hover over any agent and hold Space. Its window grows and comes to the front without taking focus. Let go and it shrinks back.
Each agent gets its own note on a pentatonic scale, so you can tell agents apart by sound. Turn tones on and you can work in another app.
One small window lists every agent. Click one to bring it forward. From here you can start a Claude Code agent, choose its model and effort, give it a name and a color, and tidy the desktop with one key.
These screenshots come from one recorded BentoTerm session. Nine agents worked in separate copies of the BentoTerm repo. None of the windows were mocked up.
tsc, and stopped. The light turned orange and the agent played its note.

Each agent has its own note on a pentatonic scale, A C D E G, and the scale repeats from the sixth agent. Notes from that scale sound pleasant together, so ten agents finishing at once still sound good. Turn your sound on and press a key.
BentoTerm needs no account and sends no telemetry. Your shells stay on your Mac.
