A typical remote-server workflow means switching between a terminal for SSH, a separate GUI client for the database, a text editor for config files, and a browser tab for an AI assistant. Yaw's pitch is to collapse all of that into a single window, so the context — which server, which database, which file — never gets lost between apps. Yaw is a free, cross-platform desktop terminal built on Electron and xterm.js, offering tabbed and split-pane sessions, a broadcast mode to run one command across several panes at once, a command palette, and searchable Git history by commit, code, or author. It includes a built-in SSH client with Tailscale integration, native connectivity to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis with encrypted credential storage, and an integrated file editor with syntax highlighting and a git-diff gutter. AI chat is built in with support for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, Ollama, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, and HuggingFace, using your own API keys — the app itself doesn't proxy or track your traffic.
