Description
Ante is a free, open source macOS terminal for AI coding agents. One board shows every AI session as working, waiting for you or idle. You also get a built in TODO list & a Pomodoro Timer in the terminal so you don't need multiple apps for it. On top of all of this, you get github-style insights on all of your ongoing & previous work! Have a look and lmk what you think :)

Could you build this?
Partial Terminal emulators require low-level systems programming (pty management, VT100/ANSI parsing) and deep OS hooks to reliably monitor process trees and child state in real time.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/macOS development using AppKit and POSIX pseudo-terminal APIs (forkpty, termios) or embedding an engine like libvterm / Ghostty. The hard part is managing robust process tree introspection, file descriptor observation, IPC hooks into proprietary CLI agents (like Claude Code), and managing low-latency terminal rendering without visual glitches.
