Terminus
A highly configurable cross-platform terminal emulator with integrated SSH and serial client capabilities.
What is Terminus?
Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a modern, cross-platform terminal emulator for Windows, macOS, and Linux that integrates local shells, SSH, Telnet, and serial connectivity into a single, feature-rich application. It aims to replace multiple standalone tools like Windows Terminal, PuTTY, and iTerm by providing a unified, configurable environment for managing both local and remote command-line sessions.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who regularly work with local terminals, remote servers via SSH/Telnet, and serial devices, and who prefer a single, integrated application over multiple specialized tools.
Developers choose Tabby for its all-in-one integration of terminal, SSH client, and serial terminal capabilities, its high degree of configurability and theming, and its extensible plugin system. It offers a polished, unified alternative to using separate applications like conhost/PowerShell ISE, PuTTY, and macOS Terminal.app.
