terminal-browser is a real Chromium-based browser that renders inside your terminal using the kitty graphics protocol and Electron's offscreen rendering API. It includes a CLI that lets AI coding agents open, view, and interact with web pages alongside their work, including over SSH.

Use cases

  • browse the web inside my terminal
  • let my coding agent see and control a browser
  • preview localhost apps next to my agent in a split pane
  • view websites running on a remote server over SSH without port forwarding
  • render HTML plans generated by an AI agent side by side
  • test web flows like checkout with an agent

When to choose

  • you live in the terminal and want browsing without switching windows
  • you use AI coding agents that need to see and interact with web pages
  • you develop on remote machines and want to preview sites over SSH
  • your terminal supports the kitty graphics protocol (ghostty, kitty, cmux, vscode)

When to avoid

  • your terminal does not support the kitty graphics protocol
  • you need a full-featured desktop browser with extensions and profiles
  • you are on Windows, which is not supported
