Kyma Ter is the workspace layer in the Kyma product stack.
  • Kyma API is the hosted backend

  • Kyma Ter is the local multi-agent terminal workspace
Install:

curl -fsSL https://kymaapi.com/install.sh | bash

# Recommended on Windows
npm install -g @kyma-api/agent

Kyma Ter starts a local server, opens a browser UI, and lets you run multiple terminal sessions in parallel.

Support Matrix

​
What Kyma Ter Does

Kyma Ter is built for local, parallel terminal work:
  • open multiple panes in the same workspace
  • run Kyma Agent and shell sessions side-by-side
  • switch between workspaces
  • manage sessions from a browser UI on localhost
  • keep local config and local state on your machine

​
Pane Types

Kyma Ter currently supports two main pane types:
  • Kyma Agent panes, which run the kyma command
  • Shell panes, which run a normal terminal session
This makes it useful for workflows like:
  • one pane for planning with Kyma Agent
  • one pane for editing or running commands manually
  • one pane for verification or logs

​
Local-First Architecture

Kyma Ter runs locally:
  • the Go server runs on your machine
  • the browser UI connects over local HTTP and WebSocket routes
  • local config is stored in your OS user config directory
  • the binary lives under ~/.kyma/ter/
Kyma Ter is not a hosted cloud console. It is a local workspace around your local terminal environment.

​
Workspace Features

Kyma Ter includes:
  • tiling pane layouts
  • multiple workspaces
  • keyboard shortcuts
  • setup flow for Kyma Agent
  • file drag-and-drop into terminal panes
  • tasks and notes side-panel support

When To Use Kyma Ter

Use Kyma Ter when one terminal window is no longer enough. Good fits:
  • running multiple agent sessions in parallel
  • mixing AI-driven panes with manual shell work
  • keeping planning, coding, and verification visible at once
  • working locally but wanting a structured browser workspace
If you just want a single interactive coding session, start with Kyma Agent.
