Mac version

The local terminal is an app for the Mac: the shells of this computer as blocks, and the whole cloud in the same window. Free, macOS 11 and later, Apple Silicon and Intel in one file. Versions for Windows and Linux are in the works.

Download for Mac
  1. Open the tTerm.dmg you downloaded and drag tTerm to Applications. If you open the app right from the disk image, it offers to move itself there: it can update only from Applications.

  2. Open the app. The first time, macOS asks you to confirm, here is how. After that the terminals of this Mac work at once, with no account and no setup.

  3. Sign in when you like. Signing in opens your browser: confirm it there, and your servers and notes appear in the window.

The app is signed with our own certificate, not an Apple Developer ID, so the first time macOS asks you to confirm.

Open tTerm and press Done. Then System Settings → Privacy & Security: at the bottom, by the line about tTerm, press Open Anyway (the button stays about an hour after the attempt) and confirm with your Mac’s password.

From then on the app opens as usual, installs new versions itself, and macOS does not ask about them.

Every six hours the app checks for a new version, downloads it and installs it when that gets in nobody’s way: when you quit, or when nothing runs in its terminals. In Settings → Updates you can have it ask first.

Quit the app from its icon in the menu bar and drag tTerm from Applications to the Trash. If you signed in, you can forget this Mac in Settings → Devices.
