Terminal & AI Agents

Save or Discard Terminal Sessions on Quit

When you quit with active terminals, 1DevTool asks whether to save or discard them so you can preserve tabs, working folders, and recent output instead of losing state unexpectedly.

Save or Discard Terminal Sessions on Quit

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Quitting a coding workspace is not the same as closing a blank shell. You may have several AI terminals, long-running commands, and project-specific working folders open at once. This quit prompt makes that decision explicit: save the current terminal state so you can resume later, or discard it and stop the running work cleanly, instead of losing context by accident.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Open a Terminal

Click "+" to create a new terminal tab. Choose from Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, bash, zsh, or custom shells.

Arrange Your Layout

Switch between grid, columns, or fullscreen with one click. Drag dividers to resize panes to your preference.

Run Your Agents

Start your AI agents with pre-configured prompts or type freely. Watch them work in real-time with status indicators.

Monitor & Manage

Use the Terminal Dashboard for a bird's-eye view. Sessions persist across restarts so you never lose context.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Search for the right tool online
# Switch between multiple apps
# Copy-paste data between windows
# Lose context every time you switch
# Repeat dozens of times per day

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace

Zero Context Switching

All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.

Visual Status Tracking

Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.

Persistent Sessions

Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.

Flexible Arrangements

One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
