What developers say
Built for devs who ship.
Early beta feedback from developers, DevOps engineers, and sysadmins around the world.
"The danger detection alone is worth it. Caught a rm -rf /var/log on production that would've wrecked my Friday. Literally saved my job."

"I switched from iTerm2 after 6 years. The SFTP sidebar + split view combo is something I didn't know I needed. And it's free?"

"BYOK is the right model. I don't want another company routing my terminal output through their cloud. My key, my machine, my data."

"The NLP commands are wild. I type '? show all containers restarted in the last hour' and it gives me the exact docker command. Feels like magic."

"Broadcast mode across 5 staging servers at once. Deploy copilot tracking each step. This is what Warp should have been — but open source and private."

FAQ
Questions? Answered.
Everything you need to know before downloading.
What is BYOK? +
BYOK stands for "Bring Your Own Key." Instead of Void Terminal running its own AI infrastructure, you connect your own API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4o), Google (Gemini), or run Ollama locally for fully offline AI. This means your terminal data never leaves your machine — the API call goes directly from your computer to your AI provider. Void never sees your data or your bill.
Is the free tier actually free forever? +
Yes. The free tier includes the full terminal with tabs, splits, SFTP sidebar, file editor, 10 saved connections, 20 snippets, command palette, output search, and session recording. No credit card. No time limit. No "trial period." The core terminal is also open-source (MIT) so it can't be taken away.
How much does the AI cost me? +
Void Terminal itself charges $0 for AI. You only pay your AI provider. Typical usage runs about $1-3/month on Anthropic or OpenAI. Void makes ~30 AI calls per hour max (rate-limited). Or use Ollama for completely free, fully offline AI — no internet needed.
Is my data private? +
Completely. Your API key is encrypted and stored locally at ~/.config/void-terminal/. Terminal output is processed locally by the AI watcher (regex patterns) before any API call is made. The only network calls are: SSH connections (you control these), AI API calls (direct to your provider), and license validation (once per week, just checks a key — no terminal data sent).
Why not just use Warp? +
Warp is great, but there are key differences: Warp's AI runs through their cloud (your terminal data hits their servers). Void uses BYOK — your data stays local. Warp isn't open source. Void's core is MIT licensed. Warp doesn't have SFTP. Void does. Warp is $18/mo for teams. Void Pro is $12/mo with PPP pricing as low as $4/mo.
Do you support Linux? +
Not yet — macOS and Windows at launch. Linux support is planned for Q3 2026. The core is built on Electron so the port is straightforward. Star the GitHub repo and watch for announcements.
What about regional pricing? +
We use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) pricing through Paddle. Developers in India, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia get Pro for $4/month. LATAM (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia) gets $6/month. Standard pricing is $12/month. Your region is detected automatically at checkout.
