tern-projects

If you write software with AI coding agents throughout the day, your work is scattered across half a dozen disconnected tools: OMP, Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and Cursor. None of them share history, none talk to each other, and jumping back into a conversation from yesterday means hunting through shell logs and hidden directories.

tern-projects brings complete order to your AI workflow. It gives you a clean, native project sidebar inside the Tern terminal — organizing your work into multi-folder workspaces, giving you instant full-text search across all past sessions, and letting you launch fresh chats in any harness with a single keystroke.

what you get

multi-folder workspaces: real projects don't live in a single folder. Group your frontend, backend API, shared libraries, and documentation into a named project with custom icons, and launch chats with full workspace context attached.
automatic discovery: zero setup required. The sidebar instantly aggregates and indexes your existing chat history across all six harnesses without manual tagging or import steps.
instant full-text search: search across every message, solution, and prompt you've ever had with an agent. Filter by worktree, repository, or global history with live snippet highlighting.
pinned threads & recents: keep essential active discussions pinned right at the top so you never lose context, alongside quick access to your most recent chats.
one-key chat launching & resume: start a fresh interactive session or jump right back into an existing conversation in your preferred CLI with a single keystroke.
local archiving & clean deletion: archive completed threads out of view to keep your workspace focused, or permanently remove old sessions with native CLI cleanup.
