Hyper
Hyper is a free terminal application for people working in a command-line interface. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with split panes, GPU acceleration, SSH support, and a scripting API. The project says speed and stability are priorities and uses xterm.js as its terminal engine. Users can configure the shell, environment variables, appearance, window size, scrollback, and other settings in .hyper.js, and change command bindings there as well. Themes and extensions provide additional ways to alter or intercept terminal behavior. Extensions are Node.js modules available on npm; the API lets plugins work with React components and Redux actions. Plugins can be reloaded with Command+R, and Hyper also loads them periodically or after plugin configuration changes. Downloads are listed for macOS, Windows, Debian, Fedora, and AppImage. The displayed latest version is v3.4.1.
