Vtm is a virtual terminal multiplexer delivered as a single executable that creates a text-based desktop environment bridging TUI and GUI. It runs natively on Windows consoles and Unix-like terminals, wraps any CLI app, and supports infinite nesting of workspaces.
Use cases
- manage multiple terminal sessions in a text-based desktop
- use a terminal multiplexer on Windows
- run a standalone terminal emulator
- access remote terminals over SSH with a binary protocol
- organize CLI apps in nested workspaces
When to choose
- you want tmux-like multiplexing that works natively on Windows consoles
- you need a single-binary terminal workspace with no dependencies
- you want a text-based desktop environment with window management in the terminal
When to avoid
- you need a graphical desktop with mouse-driven GUI apps
- you only need a simple shell without session management
- you require native GUI window rendering on non-Windows platforms
