Best for

Developers who live in the terminal and want remote files, SSH sessions, and AI help without switching apps.

Why it deserves attention

Wave pairs a real terminal with the things a terminal usually sends you elsewhere for: Markdown and image previews, a VS Code-like editor for remote files, an inline browser, an SSH connection manager, split-screen workspaces, and reusable HTML widgets you can turn into dashboards. Everything runs locally with no account, and the project is Apache-2.0 licensed with more than 22,000 GitHub stars and active releases for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is built on Go and React rather than a GPU renderer, so startup and memory use are heavier than Ghostty or Alacritty, and AI features depend on the model keys you configure.
