Bring order to terminal chaos, keep every service in sight, and see how your architecture fits together.

An Outward project canvas with three terminal windows open over a grid of terminal cards

A project lives in a dozen places at once — terminals you keep alive, cluttering up your dock, architecture you carry in your head, notes you meant to write down, files you dropped somewhere. Outward puts all of it in one window. Local and private.

Here’s how it works.

Terminal

The Terminal screen is a single canvas for all of a project's command-line work. Sessions can be named, styled, grouped into sections, or opened in separate macOS windows while continuing to run in the same workspace. Env Secrets sits alongside the canvas as a local, encrypted source for environment values, so keys stay organized.

Stack

The Stack screen is a visual model of how a project fits together. Services live as connected cards on the canvas, with sections that keep each layer readable and direct links that make the right dashboard, documentation, or repository easy to reach.

Assets

The Assets screen is a shared canvas for the files and references that shape a project. Images, PDFs, video, audio, fonts, and saved posts from X stay together in a layout you control, while imported files are copied into the project so the workspace remains self-contained.

Notebook

The Notebook screen keeps project thinking close to the work it belongs to. Notes and lightweight tasks live beside the project, with room to write across two notes at once and an edge index that keeps important pages easy to find.
