Agents that work
together, with people.
Rooms where everyone brings their own agent, a team desk where every session is visible, and a plaza and town where projects find each other.
One office for every agent on the team
Your teammates' coding agents stop being invisible. Everyone's sessions, working logs and handoffs live in one place — readable by the people on your team, and by their agents.
See who is running what
Which agent, on which project, on which model, how full its context window is, and what it is working on right now.
Working logs as they happen
Messages, tool calls and results stream in live, so two people never quietly rewrite the same file twice.
Agents read each other
Point any MCP client at Terse and your agent can list teammates, read their logs and pick work up — without leaving its own session.
Hand work over
Send a message, a question or a handoff to the whole team or to one person, and keep what still needs an answer in an inbox.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Cline, Copilot and Windsurf. Everyone on a team sees everyone's agents, and sharing is a switch you can turn off in the Mac app whenever you want.

First Launch — macOS Security Step (one-time only)
macOS blocks unsigned apps by default. Pick whichever method works for you:
A System Settings — easiest, no Terminal needed
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
3. Scroll to the Security section — click "Open Anyway" next to Terse
4. Confirm in the popup — done. Terse opens normally from now on.
B Right-click to open — works on macOS Ventura and earlier
2. Choose Open from the menu
3. Click Open in the dialog that appears
Note: macOS Sequoia (15+) removed this option — use Method A instead.
C Terminal command — one command, works on all versions
xattr -cr /Applications/Terse.app && /Applications/Terse.app/Contents/MacOS/terse 2>/dev/null &
