Introducing the New Wave Terminal v0.8

A modern, open-source terminal with file previews, an editor, AI, and web integration — designed to reduce context switching and keep you focused

Introducing the New Wave Terminal v0.8

We built Wave to make you holistically more productive. With an all-new layout engine and integrated widgets, Wave seamlessly blends the command line with file browsing, editing, web integration, and AI into one powerful environment. By eliminating distractions and keeping everything at your fingertips, Wave helps you maintain a smooth, uninterrupted workflow. Whether you're previewing files, automating tasks, or leveraging AI, it's designed to streamline your process, allowing you to stay focused and reduce the need for constant context switching.

A Command Line Reimagined

Traditional command-line interfaces (CLIs) are powerful, but they often require switching between different applications for tasks like previewing files, browsing the web, or using AI tools. Wave brings all these functions together in one place with a flexible layout and keyboard shortcuts. You can preview remote files, pull up documentation, or browse the web without ever leaving your terminal. With integrated widgets and seamless navigation, Wave keeps you in the flow so you can get more done.

Faster, More Compatible, and Windows Native

Wave v0.8 is faster and more flexible than ever. It supports your standard terminal prompts and command completions while working smoothly with all shells (not just bash/zsh), removing the friction some users experienced with ohmyzsh packages. For the first time, Wave also runs natively on Windows, giving you a consistent experience across all major operating systems.

This is Just the Beginning

Wave is open source and built with the community in mind. We're expanding its capabilities, adding support for creating your own widgets, and rolling out even more productivity features. Expect deeper AI integrations, better connections with external systems, and more ways to streamline your workflow. We're excited to continue evolving Wave, with your input helping to shape its future.
