LiteTerm

A fast PowerShell terminal, file tree and code editor in a single window — open a folder and start working, no separate editor to switch to.

Windows desktop app

Most workflows split a terminal and an editor into two separate windows you keep switching between. LiteTerm keeps them together: open a folder, get a PowerShell session, a file tree and a lightweight text editor in one place.

What makes this app unique

Unlike a standalone terminal (Windows Terminal, ConEmu) or a full IDE (VS Code, Cursor), LiteTerm is built specifically to keep quick edits and terminal commands in the same window:

🪟

One window for terminal, file browsing and quick edits — no context switch to a separate editor.

Lightweight and fast to start — not a full IDE, just what you need for quick terminal-driven work.

🦚

Reads the same Peacock color convention used in VS Code, so window colors stay consistent across your tools.

Features

💻

Integrated PowerShell terminal (xterm.js) with multiple tabs per window.

🌳

Optional file tree and code editor next to the terminal, toggled on demand.

↕️

Drag the splitter between the editor and the terminal to resize either pane.

🎨

Automatically colors the title bar and activity bar from a folder's Peacock (.vscode/settings.json) color, so each project is visually distinct.

🕘

Quick-switch menu of recently opened folders.

🔀

Toggle Git awareness for the open folder directly from the toolbar.

📋

Copy the open folder's path to the clipboard with one click.

Clean Fluent UI interface consistent with modern Windows apps.

Built for the moments when opening a full IDE is more than you need — just a terminal, a file tree and an editor, together.
