- Tag any window
Not just terminals. Tag any app window — editors, browsers, design tools — whatever you need to keep straight.
- One hotkey
Press Ctrl+Shift+` from anywhere, click the window and name it. Change the shortcut in Settings.
- Follows its window
The tag sits on the window’s top edge and moves with it. It hides while the window is minimized and goes away when the window closes.
- Jump to any tagged window
Every tag is listed in the menu bar on a Mac and in the tray on Windows and Linux. Pick one and its window comes to the front.
- Edit right on the tag
The color dot changes the tag’s color, the name is where you type, and × removes the tag.
- Eight colors, all editable
Eight colors to start. Change any color’s background and text, add your own, or reset to the defaults.
- Pill, Rounded or Square
Pick the tag shape (Pill, Rounded or Square) and the font.
- Big tags
Turn on Big tags for labels you can read from across the room.
- Built for many sessions
Running ten terminals at once? Tag each one and the whole desktop reads at a glance.
- Never reads your windows
Terminal Tags labels windows and never reads the text inside them. Your tag names are never part of our analytics.
- Mac, Windows & Linux
One purchase unlocks Terminal Tags on Mac, Windows and Linux. Sign in with the same Bravely Account on each.
- Keeps itself up to date
Terminal Tags keeps itself up to date on Mac, Windows and Linux.
- Menu bar or tray
No main window: Terminal Tags lives in the menu bar on a Mac and in the tray on Windows and Linux, where Linux adds a tag-list window.
- Launch at login
Turn on Launch at login in Settings so Terminal Tags is running whenever you sign in. It’s off until you turn it on.
- Analytics you can turn off
Our product analytics are tied to your Bravely Account and never carry a tag’s name. Turn them off in Settings.
Tag any window.
Press Ctrl+Shift+` from anywhere, or choose Tag a Window. The screen dims; click the window you want and type a name. The tag rides on top of that window wherever it goes.
The tag lands with its name field open: the name is where you type. 
The pointer on the color dot and its tooltip: click it to change the tag’s color.

FAQs
Which windows can I tag?
Any app window, not just terminals: your terminal, your editor, your browser. On a Mac or a Windows PC, whatever window you click. On Linux, windows on an X11 desktop; on a Wayland session, native Wayland windows can’t be tagged.
What happens to a tag when I quit or restart?
It’s gone. A tag belongs to one window and lasts as long as that window is open: close the window, quit Terminal Tags or restart, and you tag again. Turn on Launch at login in Settings so Terminal Tags is running whenever you sign in.
How do I get back to a tagged window?
Pick its tag from the Terminal Tags menu in the menu bar (Mac) or the tray (Windows and Linux), or from the tag-list window on Linux, and the window comes to the front. On the tag itself, the color dot changes its color, the name is where you type, and × removes it.
Can I try Terminal Tags before I buy it?
Yes. Install it, sign in and tag your first window, then use everything free for 24 hours with no card, plus 24 more hours once. After that, buy it once for $19.99 for Mac, Windows and Linux, or pick a Bravely Premium plan.
Does one purchase cover all my computers?
Yes. Terminal Tags Pro unlocks Terminal Tags on Mac, Windows and Linux, on every computer you sign in to with the same Bravely Account.
What can Terminal Tags see?
Where your windows are and which app owns them, so a tag can follow its window. It never reads the text inside a window, and your tag names are never part of our analytics. Analytics are tied to your Bravely Account, and you can turn them off in Settings. On a Mac it asks for Accessibility so it can bring a tagged window to the front; Screen Recording is optional. Windows and Linux ask for nothing.
Can I change the hotkey?
Yes. It starts as Ctrl+Shift+`, the key under Esc. Pick a different shortcut in Settings.
Does Terminal Tags work with iTerm2, Windows Terminal or VS Code?
Yes. It tags whatever window you click, in any app: Terminal, iTerm2, Windows Terminal, a VS Code window or your browser. There is no list of supported apps. On Linux, the window has to be on an X11 desktop.
How is a tag different from a tab color or a tab title?
A tab color or tab title lives in one terminal app’s tab bar, and you set it up app by app. A Terminal Tags tag sits on the top edge of the window itself, in any app, and every tag is listed in the menu bar or tray, where picking one brings its window to the front.
Does Terminal Tags run or organize my terminal sessions?
No. It labels windows and lists them. It doesn’t start, split or save sessions, and it never reads the text inside a window. Your terminal app or tmux runs the sessions; Terminal Tags tells their windows apart.
