A unified interface for AI in your terminal.
Toad is a Python-based terminal user interface, built with Textual, that acts as a front-end for multiple coding agents including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini, and OpenHands. It connects to Claude specifically through Claude Code, presenting it alongside other agents in what the project calls an AI "app store" where users can discover, install, and switch between agents without leaving the terminal. The interface includes a fully integrated shell that preserves state across commands, meaning directory changes and environment variables persist between interactions, which the README identifies as unique among terminal agent UIs. Other concrete features include a Markdown prompt editor with syntax-highlighted code fences, a fuzzy file picker triggered by the "@" key, side-by-side syntax-highlighted diffs, concurrent multi-agent sessions viewable with Ctrl+S, and session resumption via Ctrl+R. Toad is distributed under a commercial license and targets developers who want to run and compare multiple AI coding agents within a single, configurable terminal workflow.
