Terminus is a multifunctional terminal emulator and connection manager designed for managing remote server shells and local hardware device connections. It functions as a customizable shell interface and a cross-platform serial client, supporting communication via SSH, Telnet, and serial ports.
The application features an extensible system that allows the integration of third-party plugins, such as AI assistants and additional connectivity tools. It includes a dedicated SSH connection manager with support for jump hosts, port forwarding, and the storage of sensitive credentials within encrypted containers.
The platform provides tools for workspace organization through split panes, custom profiles, and synchronized configurations. Users can personalize the interface with custom themes, font ligatures, and keyboard shortcuts, while hardware communication is supported through serial port data flow management and hex input and output.
The system also includes capabilities for SSH file transfers and the recording of terminal output to local files.
