About Tabby
Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator, SSH and serial client for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is presented as an alternative to the standard Windows terminal, PuTTY, macOS Terminal.app and iTerm.
It suits people who work with many local shells and remote servers. Tabs are remembered between sessions, panes can be split, and an integrated connection manager keeps your SSH and Telnet connections together. Plugins and themes can be added from the settings.
Highlights
- Integrated SSH and Telnet client with a connection manager
- Integrated serial terminal with saved connections
- Split panes and tabs that are remembered
- Support for PowerShell, WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, MSYS2, Cmder and CMD
- Configurable shortcuts, themes and color schemes
- Encrypted container for SSH secrets and configuration
