GlassTerm
macOS·Apple Silicon·voice first
You talk. The agents type.
Give an agent its next task without hunting through terminal tabs. Keep several projects visible, hear a reply when you want one, and stay focused on the work in front of you.

The idea
What GlassTerm is
GlassTerm gives coding agents a place on your desktop and lets you direct them by speaking. Move between projects, see what each agent is doing, and step in whenever the work needs a change.
Use push to talk for a quick instruction or keep the microphone open while you work. GlassTerm supports Claude, Codex, Grok, Kimi, Qwen and Hermes.
Capabilities
What it does
Give the next instruction out loud
Hold fn to speak, use the on-screen control, or leave voice input open when your hands are busy.
Keep agents side by side
Give each agent its own pane so you can follow several tasks without losing the one you were watching.
Work across projects
Open an agent in the project you choose and keep its work in view alongside the rest of your desktop.
Stay oriented
See the agents and their current work in one place, then direct the next step when you are ready.
Choose your agent
Use the coding agents you already know, including Claude, Codex, Grok, Kimi, Qwen and Hermes.
Hear the response
Choose a spoken reply or keep the exchange on screen. Local voice options are available.
