Visit kaku.fun ↗What is Kaku?
Kaku is a macOS terminal application designed for developers who code with AI tools. It comes pre-configured with JetBrains Mono font, dark and light themes, native Mac shortcuts for tabs and panes, and session restoration. The built-in AI assistant suggests fixes for failed commands and can generate commands from plain English descriptions.
The terminal includes shell tools like zsh completion, syntax highlighting, and directory jumping. Additional features cover tabs and splits with familiar keyboard shortcuts, a right-click context menu, clickable URLs and file paths, and GPU-accelerated rendering. Kaku is open source, requires no account, and offers optional Lua configuration for deeper customization. The maker built it with Claude Code.
