Toad is a terminal user interface (TUI) that provides a unified interface for running multiple AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and OpenHands. It combines a fully functional shell with agentic AI workflows, an agent 'app store' for discovering and installing agents, and a Markdown prompt editor.

Use cases

• run multiple AI coding agents from one terminal UI
• interleave shell commands with AI agent prompts
• discover and install AI coding agents
• get a persistent shell alongside an AI agent
• write prompts with a Markdown editor with syntax highlighting
• replace separate CLIs for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini

When to choose

• you use several AI coding agents and want one unified interface
• you want a real persistent shell integrated with AI agent workflows
• you prefer terminal-based tools with rich TUI features like mouse support and tab completion

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or IDE-integrated AI assistant
• you require a permissive open-source license for commercial use (it is AGPL-3.0 with commercial licensing)
• you only use a single AI agent and are happy with its native CLI
