Server Stats. Always On.
CPU spiking? Running out of RAM? You'll know before you ask. Bay Terminal shows your server's vital stats in real-time, always visible, never hidden behind commands. Click any metric for instant diagnostic commands. Color-coded health indicators show you what needs attention, when it needs attention. This is the information you always wanted at your fingertips.
Visual Navigation. Shell Follows.
Navigate remote servers visually. Click folders, preview contents, and watch your shell follow automatically. You're not running ls. You're seeing orientation. No more memorizing directory structures or typing cd repeatedly. This is how navigation should have always worked.
Commands Saved. Variables Built In.
Save commands with {{variables}} that prompt for input when you run them. Kill service on port? Just type the port. Grep logs for an error? Enter the keyword. No retyping, no syntax errors on production. Group by category, track usage, and run trusted workflows with one click. Commands that adapt to the moment, saved once for every situation.
Sessions That Never Die.
Built-in tmux integration means your sessions persist. Close your laptop, disconnect from WiFi, or restart your Mac. Your work survives. Create, switch, and manage sessions with visual chips and menus. Reconnect instantly to exactly where you left off. You never have to think about tmux. It just works.
Upload. Download. Track Progress.
Move files between your Mac and remote servers without leaving the terminal. Right-click any file to download, or upload from the toolbar. Real-time progress bars show exactly where you are. Cancel anytime. No separate FTP client needed. No command-line scp incantations. Just point, click, and transfer.
Plus: AI That Works in the Open.
Deploy apps, debug issues, configure services. Just describe what you want. Bay Copilot executes commands directly in your visible terminal, so you see everything happening. Unlike other AI tools that hide execution in black boxes, every command runs where you can watch it. Approve each step manually, or switch to autonomous mode. BYOK for unlimited usage, complete privacy, and full compliance.
