The premium macOS terminal for developers who want every action to feel immediate. Switch between named sessions, track system performance, and navigate your codebase without friction.
Create, rename, and switch between persisted terminal sessions. Each session keeps its own process state, current directory, and active or idle indicator.
Predict commands from your Zsh history and bundled command catalog, with keyboard navigation
and quick acceptance right in the terminal. Start a line with
# to describe what you want in plain English instead —
#goback, #kill port 3000 —
and 209 curated recipes answer with the actual command line to run.
Pin a folder to a session, browse its tree, expand subfolders, and keep the current directory highlighted at a glance.
When a folder contains a .git repository, click the git icon to view the last 50 commits. See author, date, and message at a glance, and click any commit hash to copy it to your clipboard.
Choose light, dark, or system appearance and tune the terminal font family and size to fit your setup.
Use built-in terminal actions or create saved keyboard shortcuts for repeat work and faster command entry.
Drag files and folders from Finder or the sidebar into the terminal. Directories become
cd commands and files insert escaped paths.
See inline command descriptions while typing, or open detailed help with the commands' usage, options, and examples in a popover or side panel.
Help pages for 48 git subcommands, with usage, options, and verified examples. Type
git rebase and the panel follows the subcommand, not just
git.
Track CPU, RAM, and energy impact with live sidebar histograms, so you can spot heavy sessions before they slow you down.
Dictate commands into the terminal using on-device speech recognition. Nothing leaves the Mac, with mic results streamed in as edits and a default hotkey of ⌃⌥D.
Launch sessions, switch contexts, and fire off commands with a terminal that feels instant, responsive.
Shell Pilot suggests commands with statistical ML using n-gram frequencies and recency weighting coupled with TF-IDF scoring. What does this mean for terminal users? Immediate, private, and blazen fast autocomplete available right in the terminal.
Type # followed by plain text decribing the command you want to
use to see instant suggestions from Shell Pilot's built-in command catalog. Perfect for
discovering new commands or recalling syntax without leaving your terminal.
Forget typing long paths. With Shell Pilot's intelligent directory tree, moving through your projects is as simple as a flick of the wrist. Drag and drop assets to jump straight to the right context.
Monitor your system's heartbeat without leaving your terminal. Shell Pilot keeps CPU, RAM, and energy impact visible so you can stay fast while you work.
