A supercharged terminal for Mac with built-in local AI

jebi is a supercharged Mac terminal with built-in local AI — no API key, no subscription, no cloud. After every command, it suggests what to run next. Hit an error? jebi explains it in plain English and tells you how to fix it. Type /ask to chat with AI right in your terminal. All AI runs on-device with Qwen, Phi-3, and Gemma — your commands never leave your Mac. Beautiful UI, split panes, tabs, custom themes, grain texture, and slash commands like /ls and /ports.

@jebi unable to open after installing on mac
jebi
@surenganne Thanks for trying it out.
This is a standard macOS security prompt for apps outside the App Store — jebi is safe to open! To fix it: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway" next to jebi. You'll only need to do this once.
We also have this noted on the website (hover the ? icon in install section)
Looks great! Any plans to implement a quake mode?
jebi
@berkcanucan It's a great idea — a quake-style drop-down terminal would fit jebi really well. Will consider it. Thanks for your input.

@marc_vuit About 3 months of evenings and weekends! The terminal rendering (xterm.js + PTY) and getting llama.cpp running reliably on Apple Silicon were the hardest parts. The AI integration itself was actually faster once the foundation was solid.
@jawahars16 nice bro, but mine is an Intel CPU, so I could not try it but already you mentioned that in landing page
jebi
@marc_vuit Thanks for trying it out! Sorry it didn't work — Intel support is on the radar for a future release. Appreciate you giving it a shot!
Suggest and explain, rather than act, is the right default for a terminal. The terminal is too close to real damage for autonomy-first UX; the product earns trust by making the next step legible and still requiring intent.
jebi
@krekeltronics Exactly this. "Legible and requiring intent" is the right frame — the terminal is the one place where autonomy-first AI would genuinely erode trust rather than build it. Appreciate you putting it so clearly.
Local and no cloud is what sells me. Keeping everything on my own machine beats having the smartest model. Nice work.

@sllbailuo Thank you, that means a lot! That's exactly the bet jebi makes — privacy and zero latency over raw model power. Glad it resonates!
