Terminal Browser

Terminal Browser is a real browser that opens inside a terminal tab, including over SSH.

Terminal Browser runs a real browser inside a terminal tab. It can open a URL, split panes, list open browsers and expose an agent-browser compatible CLI so an agent can view and control a page, test a flow or show an HTML plan beside the session. It also works over SSH, so a site on a remote machine can be viewed without port forwarding. Documented terminals include Ghostty, Kitty, cmux, Herdr and tmux. It targets macOS and Linux from the command line, and it is meant for people who want a page preview or an agent-driven check without leaving the terminal or opening a separate desktop window.
