Desktop terminal profile manager

Reopen an entire terminal workspace in one action.

Termrig saves groups of terminal tabs as reusable profiles, including shells, directories, startup scripts, fonts, and color schemes.

Why it exists

Stop rebuilding the same tabs by hand.

Development and operations work often starts with the same choreography: open the repo, logs, scripts, Docker directory, agent harness, and service consoles. Termrig turns that repeated setup into a saved profile.

Launch faster

Bring back a complete project workspace with the directories and shells already set.

Keep context portable

Profiles are local JSON under ~/.termrig/, so configuration stays inspectable.

Separate config from activity

Closing a live tab does not destroy the saved profile you use to recreate it later.

Work across platforms

Use host-appropriate shells across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What it does

Profiles for real terminal routines.

Multi-tab terminal profiles

Save and reopen complete workspaces with one profile per project, client, incident, or runbook.

Per-tab setup

Configure tab names, shell type, starting directory, startup script, font, and color scheme.

PTY-backed workspace

Use tabbed terminal sessions backed by pseudo-terminal support for practical desktop workflows.

Editable color schemes

Create custom global schemes or use built-in defaults for focused work, demos, or accessibility needs.
