Most AI coding tools are trapped in your editor or run as isolated CLI commands. Boxxy is a terminal emulator that natively understands your environment. It watches your workflow, catches your errors, and can autonomously fix broken dependencies or manage system configurations using the tools you already have installed.
Just press Control + / and you're ready to go!
Practical ways Boxxy fits into your daily Linux workflow:
Hit a broken package update, a failing systemd service, or a full disk? Press Ctrl + / and ask 'fix this'. Boxxy reads your terminal output, checks logs, and proposes the exact commands for your approval.
Running a long build, dev server, or distro upgrade? Close the tab or quit the app with Run in Background. Your shells and AI characters stay alive in the background daemon and restore with their full split-pane layout whenever you return.
Tell your character 'Remind me to check the deploy in 20 minutes'. Even if you close Boxxy, the background daemon keeps counting down and sends a native desktop notification right on time.
Pair up with Niko, Levi, or Kuro — or create your own persona. Each character has their own personality, remembers your preferences across sessions via Memories & Dreams, and addresses you by name.
A fast, fully-featured Linux terminal built for efficiency. It's a great daily driver, even before you turn the AI on.
Powered by BoxxyClaw, your terminal understands your intent, remembers preferences, and assists your workflow.
Connect to local LLMs like Ollama or custom endpoints to keep your code, data, and terminal history entirely on your machine.
