A modern terminal emulator with built-in SSH, shell integration, images, and advanced workflow features.
Extraterm is an open-source terminal emulator that goes beyond traditional terminals by integrating modern features like built-in SSH, shell integration, image display, and advanced workflow tools. It solves the problem of fragmented terminal workflows by combining multiple tools into a single, visually rich application.
Developers and system administrators who work extensively in terminals and want enhanced productivity features, visual improvements, and integrated tools without switching between applications.
Developers choose Extraterm for its unique combination of built-in SSH, shell integration with output framing, image support, and a command palette—all designed to modernize terminal usage while maintaining cross-platform compatibility and performance.
The swiss army chainsaw of terminal emulators

Integrates remote server connections directly into the terminal, eliminating the need for external SSH tools and streamlining workflow.
Frames command output for bash, zsh, and fish, enabling easy file uploads/downloads and reuse of previous output as input.
Supports images, 24-bit color, font ligatures, and emoji, enhancing terminal aesthetics and functionality beyond traditional terminals.
Includes a keyboard-friendly command palette, configurable key bindings, and tiling for quick access and multitasking.
The shift from Electron to Qt-based versions may cause instability and require users to adapt to new builds and installation methods.
Shell integration is only confirmed for bash, zsh, and fish, excluding other shells like PowerShell from full feature access.
The abundance of features like image display and mini-map can lead to higher memory and CPU usage compared to minimalist terminals.
