AI Workflow

Keep AI completions and follow-up work,
handled inside CLIX.

On first launch, CLIX prepares hooks for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, then routes completed work to in-app and macOS notifications automatically. Use clix-pick to continue AI sessions in another terminal.

clix-notify In-app notifications

If you are not already looking at that session, CLIX stores the result as an in-app notification automatically. You can pick it up later from the notification panel and session badges.

$ clix-notify "Deploy complete" "The build is finished" completed
→ Shown in the CLIX notification panel and session badge

macOS notifications Automatically delivered

Even when CLIX is not in front, completed work can arrive as a macOS banner. Clicking the notification takes you straight back to that session tab.

CLIX → macOS banner → Open Session
→ Click to jump back to the matching session tab

clix-pick Continue a session

Pick an AI session from another CLIX terminal and continue it interactively. By default, it can filter down to sessions where a specific CLI is still running.

$ clix-pick codex
→ Choose from running Codex sessions and continue
Browser Automation

Control the browser
from the terminal.

AI agents open tabs, interact with elements, and verify results using clix-browser commands — without leaving the terminal.

Open & Navigate

Open a tab once with open, then use navigate to change URLs. The tab is reused across the session.

Interact

Run snapshot to get ref numbers, then click, fill, or press to interact with elements.

Verify

Capture the result with screenshot or run JavaScript directly with evaluate.

Terminal Workspace

Terminal workspace
and session recovery.

Move between sessions, run saved snippets, and continue recovery and reconnect flows after reopening the app.

Session switching

Move between open terminal sessions quickly from the workspace sidebar.

Run snippets

Save repeated commands as snippets and run them directly in the current session.

Recovery and reconnect

Restore open sessions and continue reconnect flows after restart or wake-from-sleep.

Session Flow

Open and group sessions

Keep local terminals and remote sessions inside the same work group when they belong to one task.

Run saved snippets

Reuse health checks, deploy prep commands, and repeated SSH utilities without retyping them.

Recover and reconnect

Restore the last workspace state and continue reconnect flows after restart or wake-from-sleep.

SSH Management

Servers and credentials,
all in one place.

Hosts, SSH keys, jump hosts, port forwarding, favorites, and recent connections — all in one place.

Host collections

Organize servers into Production, Staging, Personal groups. Find any host instantly with tags, favorites, and recent connections.

Credentials & Keychain

SSH keys, PEM files, and passwords stored securely in macOS Keychain. No plain-text storage.

Jump host routing

One-click connection through bastion hosts. Works with complex network topologies.

Port forwarding

Local, remote, and dynamic (SOCKS) forwarding configured in the UI. Automatic port conflict detection.

Preflight checks

Review destination details, credentials, routes, and forwarding state in SSH Preflight before you connect.

Diagnostics

When a connection fails, inspect known_hosts, the SSH wrapper, and stderr output in Diagnostics to find the cause quickly.
