Midterm GNOME
April 1, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Midterm GNOME is a native GTK4 + libadwaita desktop client for Midterm, the browser-based terminal multiplexer and agent orchestrator. It provides a Linux desktop frontend for browsing and controlling Midterm sessions, with a session sidebar, embedded VTE terminals, and backend communication over REST plus WebSocket mux/state channels.

Features
- Session list with quick switching and creation
- Embedded terminal view for each remote session
- Host picker with saved server configuration
- Live mux updates for output, resize, and active-session changes
Development
With Nix:
nix develop
cargo run
NixOS Installation
Expose this repo as a flake input and add its default package to environment.systemPackages:
{
inputs.midterm-gtk.url = "github:elsirion/midterm-gtk";
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, midterm-gtk, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.your-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
({ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.systemPackages = [
midterm-gtk.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
];
})
];
};
};
}
Then rebuild your system:
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-host
Without Nix, install the GTK4, libadwaita, and VTE GTK4 development packages first, then run:
cargo run
