Ta‑da!
Your terminal cockpit for macOS. Terminal first, workspaces like VS Code, git & PRs built in — one fast native window.
Download for macOSEverything around your terminal
Tada puts the terminal in the middle and wraps the rest of your workflow around it — no tab juggling, no separate git client.
A terminal that feels great
GPU-rendered xterm with Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k out of the box, Maple Mono NF, autosuggestions and syntax highlighting — scoped to Tada only.
Workspaces like VS Code
Pick a project on launch, pin favorites, switch instantly with ⌘⇧O. Tada reopens where you left off.
Git, visually
Stage, commit, branch and check out — with one-click stage-all and safe remote checkouts.
GitHub-style diffs
Split side-by-side diffs with word-level highlights and real syntax colors, exactly like the code view on GitHub.
Pull requests built in
List, check out, and merge PRs from inside the app via the gh CLI. Review without leaving your cockpit.
Editor & explorer
CodeMirror-powered editing with Material file icons — perfect for quick edits next to a running session.
Get flying in three steps
Tada is open source and not (yet) notarized by Apple, so the first launch needs one extra click.
Download & drag to Applications
Grab Tada.dmg, open it, and drag Tada into Applications.
First launch
macOS will say “Tada is damaged and can’t be opened” — it isn’t. That’s just Gatekeeper flagging an app that isn’t notarized by Apple yet. Run this once in Terminal, then open Tada normally:
xattr -cr /Applications/Tada.app
Make the terminal beautiful (optional)
One command installs the font, Oh My Zsh, Powerlevel10k and plugins — only for Tada sessions; your other terminals stay untouched.
