Tabby is a modern, highly configurable terminal emulator with built‑in SSH, Telnet and serial support. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and offers features like split panes, theming, and direct file transfer via Zmodem.
Use cases
- Connect to remote servers via SSH from a feature‑rich terminal
- Manage serial console connections for embedded devices
- Use split‑pane terminals to run multiple sessions side by side
- Transfer files over SFTP or Zmodem directly within the terminal
- Customize shortcuts and themes for a personalized terminal experience
When to choose
- You need a cross‑platform terminal with integrated SSH, Telnet and serial capabilities
- You want a highly customizable UI with theming, split panes, and advanced shortcut support
- You prefer a single application that can also act as a web‑based terminal
When to avoid
- You require a lightweight terminal without a GUI layer or Electron runtime
- Your workflow depends on terminal emulators that are strictly command‑line only
- You need deep integration with specific shell extensions not supported by Tabby
