Terax packs terminal, editor, git, and AI agent into 8 MB binary
Terax is an AI-native dev environment that combines a terminal, code editor, git client with commit graph, web preview, and an agentic AI panel in a 7-8 MB binary built on Tauri 2 and Rust. It supports bring-your-own-key for AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models via LM Studio or Ollama. The tool is open-source, requires no account or telemetry, and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
