Features

  • Vertical Project Sidebar: Native macOS sidebar for organizing projects and tabs vertically.
  • Split Panes: Unlimited horizontal and vertical splits, with optional auto-tiling.
  • Persistence: Projects, tabs, and panes are saved and restored automatically.
  • Quick terminal: Global terminal accessible from anywhere.
  • Highly Configurable: Configurable theme, font, and keymap with hot-reloading.
  • Command Palette: Versatile command palette to interact with multiplexing (open, delete, and search projects)

Install

xattr -cr /Applications/Macterm.app
