WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written in Rust. It supports panes, tabs, SSH and serial connections, rich text rendering, and Lua-based configuration with hot reloading.
Use cases
- gpu-accelerated terminal emulator for linux mac and windows
- tmux alternative with native panes and tabs
- terminal with built-in ssh client and multiplexing
- connect to serial ports for arduino development
- terminal emulator with ligatures and true color support
- configurable terminal with hot reloading config file
When to choose
- you want a fast, GPU-rendered terminal across Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD
- you need built-in multiplexing (panes/tabs) without tmux
- you connect to remote hosts over SSH or serial devices
- you want programmable configuration with hot reload
When to avoid
- you need a minimal terminal with zero configuration
- you depend on Wayland stability during its reimplementation
- you require a lightweight terminal for very old hardware
