SoftBestsiTerm2
The long-standing Terminal replacement for macOS, with split panes, search, and tmux integration.
Best for
Mac users who live in the shell and want deep control without an account or subscription.
Why it deserves attention
iTerm2 builds on Terminal with split panes, a hotkey window, instant replay, paste history, profile-based automation, triggers, shell integration, and native tmux control mode. It is free and open source, maintained by a long-running volunteer project, and runs on macOS 10.14 or newer. It does not bundle AI features, so it pairs well with separate agent CLIs rather than replacing them; the configuration depth is high, which can feel heavy for casual users.
