Upterm is a terminal emulator with an interactive shell built on Electron, TypeScript, and React, offering IDE-like features such as smart autocompletion as you type. The project is deprecated and no longer maintained, with the README recommending Hyper as an alternative.

Use cases

  • terminal with autocompletion as I type
  • IDE-like terminal emulator for macOS
  • shell that shows command descriptions and expanded aliases
  • terminal that runs vim, emacs, and ssh normally
  • modern terminal app built with Electron

When to choose

  • you want a terminal emulator with inline autocompletion and contextual hints
  • you are on macOS or Linux and need a GUI terminal with IDE-like features
  • you want to study or fork an Electron/TypeScript terminal implementation

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained terminal with bug fixes and security updates
  • you need Windows support
  • you want a lightweight terminal without Electron overhead
