Every project runs on commands: dev servers, test suites, builds, scripts. The question is where they live. Alt-tabbing to a separate terminal app splits your attention in two, and the output you need is always in the window you are not looking at.

Codeworks keeps shells in the workspace. Open a terminal beside your editor and it starts in your project, in your shell. Run project commands as tasks and their output stays inside the workspace too, next to the code that produced it.

The point is proximity. A failing test and the file it tests, visible together. A dev server’s log and the handler you are editing, one glance apart. None of this is exotic; it is simply the difference between a workspace and a pile of windows.

And because Codeworks is native, the terminal is a real macOS surface in a real macOS window, not an embedded web page pretending to be one.
