When to Choose iTerm2

iTerm2 remains a strong choice for these scenarios.

Terminal-first workflow

You prefer a keyboard-driven terminal for all CLI work, not just Claude Code. iTerm2 covers SSH, scripts, and general shell usage.

General terminal needs beyond AI

Your daily work involves many non-Claude tasks. iTerm2 handles everything from Docker to database CLIs in one app.

Extensive customization

You rely on iTerm2 profiles, triggers, color schemes, and keyboard shortcuts refined over years. These features go beyond what any Claude-specific tool provides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use AgentsRoom and iTerm2 together?+
Yes. Many developers keep iTerm2 for general shell work (SSH, git, scripts) and use AgentsRoom specifically for Claude Code sessions. They serve different purposes and work well side by side.
Does AgentsRoom replace iTerm2 entirely?+
No. AgentsRoom is a companion app for Claude Code, not a general-purpose terminal. It focuses on agent orchestration, status tracking, and notifications. For non-Claude terminal work, iTerm2 remains a solid choice.
How does AgentsRoom handle multiple projects compared to iTerm2 split panes?+
AgentsRoom organizes agents into named project zones with drag and drop reordering. In iTerm2, you manage separate tabs or split panes manually, with no built-in concept of project grouping.
Does AgentsRoom support iTerm2 features like profiles and triggers?+
AgentsRoom focuses on Claude Code workflows instead of general terminal customization. It offers agent roles, model selection per agent, and status tracking. iTerm2 profiles and triggers serve a different, broader use case.
Is there a mobile companion for iTerm2?+
iTerm2 is macOS-only with no mobile app. AgentsRoom includes iOS and Android apps that sync with your desktop session, so you can monitor agent progress and receive notifications from your phone.
