Terax is a lightweight (~7 MB) open-source desktop application that combines a GPU-rendered terminal, code editor, file explorer, git source control with a commit graph, web preview, and an agentic AI side-panel into one workspace. It is built with Tauri 2, Rust, and React 19, supports bring-your-own API keys or fully local models via LM Studio/Ollama, and has no telemetry or accounts.

Use cases

  • lightweight AI-powered terminal for coding
  • terminal with built-in code editor and AI agents
  • review AI code edit diffs before applying them
  • run local LLM coding assistant offline
  • git staging and commit graph without leaving the terminal
  • fast terminal with web preview of dev servers
  • vim-mode editor with AI autocomplete
  • replace heavy IDE with a 7MB dev workspace

When to choose

  • you want a fast, tiny terminal-first workspace with AI built in
  • you prefer BYOK or fully local models with no telemetry or accounts
  • you need terminal, editor, git, and web preview in one lightweight app
  • you like keyboard-driven workflows with Vim support

When to avoid

  • you need a full IDE with debugger UI and refactoring tools
  • you require remote/hosted collaboration features or team accounts
  • you need extensive language-server and plugin ecosystem support
  • you need a guaranteed stable 1.0 release (project is pre-1.0)
