When using Claude Code, a bunch of Markdown files always accumulate locally.
I have a habit: when asking AI to write a project or handle complex tasks, I usually have it write a local md plan first.
To view these files, you need to open another editor; to check documentation, you need to switch to a browser. It’s annoying to switch back and forth.
WaveTerm solves this problem.

Its core capability is one thing: Open a terminal, view files, and browse the web simultaneously in one window.
Its interface uses a tiled layout. Each tile can be a terminal, editor, file preview, web page, or AI chat window. Drag and arrange them into your desired workspace panel.
Run Claude Code on the left, preview Markdown on the right, and tuck a browser below for checking documentation—all handled within one interface.
The file preview feature is quite comprehensive.
Markdown, images, PDFs, videos, CSVs can all be rendered directly in the terminal, no need to switch apps.
