Terminal Tags labels your windows with colored floating tags so you always know which terminal, or which app, is which at a glance. A global hotkey tags the focused window instantly, no menu-bar click needed, and clicking a tag brings that window straight to the front, even if it's minimized. Built for people juggling ten terminals at once, but it works on any window: editors, browsers, design tools, whatever you need to keep straight. Lives quietly in your Mac menu bar or Windows tray.
I built Terminal Tags because I was tired of losing track of which terminal window was doing what when I had ten of them open. Now I just glance at the color, or click the tag and it's right in front of me, no more hunting through the taskbar or squinting at tiny window titles. — Jeff Schiesser, Bravely Studios
finally something that fixes my ten-terminal chaos honestly the global hotkey to tag the focused window is so much faster than digging through menu bar stuff
Finally something that solves my chaotic terminal situation. The global hotkey tagging is slick, and I love that clicking a minimized window just yanks it forward. Tried it on my editor too and it stuck.
honestly this looks super useful for my setup, but one thing i'd love is the ability to save tag presets per app, so like my terminal always gets a red one and my editor gets blue without me hitting the hotkey every time. would save a lot of friction
The global hotkey for tagging is such a smart call, no menu hunting while you're mid-flow. Love that clicking a tag pulls a minimized window back to focus too, that's the kind of detail most window managers skip.
Finally something that fixes my daily chaos of five terminals and a VS Code all named "bash." The global hotkey for tagging the focused window is the killer feature, way faster than digging through a menu bar icon.
the global hotkey to tag the focused window without breaking flow is a really thoughtful touch, especially for anyone living in the terminal.
