STerm

_{Forked from Zap (which is based on Warp); evolving independently going forward.}

STerm is an open, local-first terminal with first-class AI and agent support. Plug in any AI provider, bring in any CLI agent, manage SSH hosts inside the terminal — with keys, history and agent state staying on your machine by default.

What STerm adds over upstream Warp

• No mandatory cloud — no account, login, Drive sync or cloud agent history required.
• BYOP AI providers — any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, plus native OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek / Ollama protocols. Keys stay local.
• Third-party CLI agents — DeepSeek-TUI / Codex CLI / Claude Code / Google Antigravity (agy) wired into Blocks and the notification center.
• Built-in SSH host manager — manage hosts, configs and sessions inside the terminal, with tmux integration.
• Editable system prompts — minijinja templates rendered on the client.
• Rendering fixes — tuned Markdown pipeline; CJK soft-wrap caret and bold subpixel fixes.
• Localized UI — English / Simplified Chinese / Japanese out of the box, community-extensible.
• Privacy defaults — Cloud Agent / Computer Use / Referral / telemetry off by default.

Migrating from OpenWarp, Zap or Warp
