Tabby

Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator, SSH and serial client designed for Windows 10, macOS and Linux. It positions itself as a modern alternative to Windows' standard terminal, PowerShell ISE, PuTTY, macOS Terminal.app and iTerm, offering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond basic terminal functionality.

What sets Tabby apart is its integrated approach to terminal management. It includes built-in SSH and Telnet clients with connection management, serial terminal support, and direct file transfer capabilities via Zmodem. The terminal supports advanced features like multiple nested split panes, customizable tabs that can be positioned on any side of the window, and an optional dockable "Quake console" with global hotkeys. It handles fast-flowing outputs without choking and provides proper shell experiences on Windows including tab completion via Clink.

Tabby excels in customization and extensibility with full theming support, configurable shortcuts including multi-chord combinations, and a robust plugin system. It offers specialized features like an integrated encrypted container for SSH secrets, X11 and port forwarding, automatic jump host management, and even provides SSH, SFTP and Telnet client functionality as a web app. The terminal is particularly well-suited for developers, system administrators, and power users who need a feature-rich terminal solution with strong SSH capabilities and extensive customization options.
