I built this because serial terminals haven't changed in decades, and I was tired of juggling 15 PDF tabs while squinting at logs.
Two things that make NeuroTerm different:
1) Neuro Input: type @ + natural language to get the command.
"@scan i2c bus 0" turns into i2cdetect -y 0.
Runs on a local LLM. No API keys, no cloud, works offline.
2) Local RAG: import your datasheets (PDF/DOCX), ask questions right in the terminal.
"What's the I2C address range for this sensor?"
and you get an answer with citations from YOUR datasheet. Everything stays on your machine.
Also: auto-detects kernel panics, boot stages, and errors with a visual minimap. HEX view, timestamps, advanced filtering. Supports serial, SSH, and WSL.
The local-only choice was deliberate. Most embedded teams I've worked with have strict security policies where cloud AI isn't an option.
Free tier (15 AI queries/day). Pro is $29 one-time, no subscription.
Currently Windows. macOS/Linux in progress.
Would love feedback. What's missing? What would make you switch from your current terminal?
