The home for all your Terminals!

Stop losing track of your terminals.

Organized like the Discord app. Repos are servers, terminals are channels. One click to run npm run dev and everything else your project needs.

Free and open source. MIT license.

Features

All your repos, one sidebar

Add your projects and see which ones are running, stopped, or need attention.

How it works

1

Download & open

Grab the app and you're ready. No config files, no setup scripts.

2

Add your project

Select a repo folder. Kickstart picks it up instantly.

3

Tell it what to run

Add the commands each project needs, like npm run dev or docker compose up. Share them with your team via the repo, or keep them local to your machine.

Why I built this

AI coding made me jump between more projects than ever.

I kept losing track of which terminal belonged to which project, especially once multiple were running in parallel, each needing two or three processes.

So I built Kickstart. One place to see what's running and start or stop everything with one click.
