About

Mantel is a lightweight macOS terminal app that assigns each project its own unique color, icon, and name, making it easy to distinguish between multiple terminal windows at a glance. It is built on top of the standard macOS Terminal, requiring no learning curve, and automatically detects which project directory you are in to adapt visuals dynamically. It targets developers and non-power-users running multiple AI coding agents or dev servers simultaneously across projects.

Problem

When running multiple terminal sessions across projects, all windows look identical, making it hard to quickly identify which window belongs to which project.

For

Developers, founders, and product managers running multiple AI coding agents or dev servers across projects on macOS

How it works

Mantel wraps the macOS Terminal with a project-aware layer that automatically detects the current directory and applies a unique color, icon, and name to each window or tab in real time.
