So I built <strong>NOBLE</strong>, a single native binary that puts all of it in one cockpit inside your terminal.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Real terminals:</strong> tabs, splits, zoom and scrollback search. ConPTY on Windows, a PTY on Linux and macOS. PowerShell, cmd, bash, zsh and fish work. vim, htop and Claude Code run full-screen.</li> <li> <strong>Projects at a glance:</strong> it finds your git repos and shows branch, changes, commits to push/pull and recent commits. Pick one, press enter, and a shell opens right in it.</li> <li> <strong>AI quota and sessions:</strong> 5-hour and weekly limits for Claude Code, Codex and more, read from the CLIs you are already logged into. It also shows which agent is waiting for your turn.</li> <li> <strong>Quick launch:</strong> start Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Cursor, Cline and others in the selected project with one key.</li> <li> <strong>System monitor:</strong> CPU, memory, network, disks, battery and a sortable process table.</li> <li> <strong>22 themes</strong>, a command palette, and everything is clickable.</li> </ul> <h2> Light by design </h2> <p>NOBLE uses about 22 MB of RAM. There is no fixed frame rate: it only redraws when something visible changes, so an idle terminal tab costs about 0.05% of one core.</p> <h2> Built with Rust and ratatui </h2> <p>Windows, Linux and macOS are treated as equal platforms. Tokens only go to their own provider and are never shown or logged.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>cargo <span class="nb">install </span>noble </code></pre> </div> <p>Or grab a prebuilt binary (Windows, macOS, Linux) from the releases page.</p> <ul> <li>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/MertSoylu/noble" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/MertSoylu/noble</a> </li> <li>Docs: <a href="https://noble.mertsoylu.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://noble.mertsoylu.dev</a> </li> </ul> <p>It is free and MIT licensed.
