What it is

uniTerm is a desktop (and optional browser-deployed) terminal that puts remote access into one workspace: SSH, Telnet, Mosh, serial, SFTP/SCP/FTP/SMB/WebDAV/S3, RDP/VNC/SPICE/X11, database clients, Kubernetes and container runtimes (Docker, Podman, nerdctl, WSLC) README lines 48–59. It is built with Wails v3, Go, Vue 3 and xterm.js, so the same codebase targets Windows, macOS, Linux and Android Tech Stack.

The distinguishing feature is a built-in AI Agent. After configuring an Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible endpoint and key, the sidebar chat can plan and run multi-turn shell commands in the active terminal tab, with execution modes ranging from bypass to confirm-all README lines 60–70. A built-in MCP server also lets external agents such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI operate saved connections; the README states credentials remain inside the app.

Getting started

1. Install a prebuilt build for your platform from GitHub Releases or Gitee Releases: Windows installer or portable ZIP, macOS DMG, Linux tar.gz/deb/rpm, Android APK, or the Docker web deployment README lines 160–171.
2. Open the app and click New Connection in the Connection Manager, then enter host, port and password or private key and press Connect to open an SSH session SSH workflow.
3. To try the AI Agent, open Settings and set the AI provider endpoint, model and key, open a terminal tab, then describe a task in the AI sidebar — commands run in that tab under your chosen execution mode AI workflow.
4. For file transfer, right-click an SSH connection and choose Connect SFTP to use the dual-pane browser SFTP workflow.

The Windows package-manager route is scoop bucket add uniterm https://github.com/ys-ll/scoop-uniterm && scoop install uniterm; macOS uses brew install --cask ys-ll/uniterm/uniterm README lines 172–189. A Docker deployment guide covers the multi-tenant browser version Docker deployment guide.

Runtime requirements

Windows needs the WebView2 runtime (shipped with Windows 10+); macOS relies on system WebKit; Linux needs libgtk-3-0 and libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0; Android requires 5.0+; Docker needs only Docker Engine on the host README lines 190–197. Oracle support uses a pure-Go driver and does not bundle Oracle client libraries or brand assets, so licensing and credentials are the user's responsibility.

Windows builds are unsigned because the project has not purchased a code-signing certificate. The README notes this can trigger antivirus false positives and points to a related Wails issue, suggesting an exclusion rule or a local build from source if concerned README lines 160–171. The AI Agent executes real commands in your sessions, so the execution-mode setting and the API keys you configure are operationally significant.

Building from source

Go 1.26+, Node.js 20+ and the wails3 CLI v3.1.0 are required, plus Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS or libgtk-3-dev and libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev on Linux README lines 228–244:

git clone https://github.com/ys-ll/uniterm.git
cd uniTerm
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..
wails3 dev

HotRepo's take

On 2026-11-04, uniTerm recorded 1,023 stars and 166 forks, adding 10 stars that day and reaching 15th on the Go daily list. It is a single snapshot rather than a trend, but ranking on a language-specific daily list for a project whose scope spans terminals, remote desktops, databases and container orchestration is consistent with the breadth described in the README. The scope is also the main caution: such an all-in-one client accumulates surface area across many protocols, and the project describes itself as a personal hobby project without commercial support README lines 298–350. Users who need one such tool should prefer a build they can verify and keep the AI Agent's confirmation mode enabled on production hosts.
