Browser utility / local shell

SideTerm

A real terminal in your browser's resizable side panel.

Coming soon

macOS + Linux · Chrome + Brave

01 / Stay in flow

Your shell, without leaving the page.

SideTerm keeps a full terminal beside your normal browser tabs, so you can code with AI, run development tools, or monitor a process without covering the work in front of you.

A real shell beside your tabs

Run a macOS or Linux login shell in a resizable browser side panel without covering the page you are using.

State that stays put

Terminal tabs, names, layout, recent output, and running processes survive closing the side panel.

Private by design

SideTerm does not read webpage content or browsing history. Terminal input and output stay between the extension and its local bridge.

02 / See it in action

Arrange the work your way.

Side-by-side terminal layout — Keep two shells visible while you work.

Vertical terminal layout — Stack terminals when the work needs more height.

Simple local settings — Configure the bridge and reconnect when needed.

03 / Get started

Install the extension.
Connect your local shell.

SideTerm is designed for Chrome and Brave on macOS and 64-bit Linux. The local SideTerm Bridge connects the browser side panel to your shell.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store
