Terminals

jebi is a supercharged Mac terminal with built-in local AI — no API key, no subscription, no cloud. After every command, it suggests what to run next. Hit an error? jebi explains it in plain English and tells you how to fix it. Type /ask to chat with AI right in your terminal. All AI runs on-device with Qwen, Phi-3, and Gemma — your commands never leave your Mac. Beautiful UI, split panes, tabs, custom themes, grain texture, and slash commands like /ls and /ports.

Hey PH! 👋

I built jebi because I was tired of alt-tabbing to Google every time a command failed or I forgot a git flag. I wanted AI in the terminal — not as a separate app, not a cloud service, just quietly available when I need it.

The hardest part was keeping it out of the way. Most AI tools interrupt your flow. jebi only speaks up after an error (to explain it) or after a command (to suggest what's next). Otherwise it stays silent.

But beyond AI, I also wanted a terminal that actually looks good. jebi has split panes, tabs, custom themes, a grain texture, and a clean input bar with ghost-text suggestions — the kind of polish you'd expect from a modern Mac app, not a terminal emulator from 2005.

Everything runs locally — Qwen, Phi-3, Gemma — no API key, no subscription. Your commands never leave your machine.

It's free, open source, and installable in one line:

brew install --cask jebi

Would love to hear what you think — especially if something breaks 😅
