Tabby is a cross-platform customizable terminal app with SSH integration. It is a terminal emulator that does not try to be a new shell or Cygwin replacement.

⭐ An Impressive Customizable Terminal App
Formerly known as 'Terminus', Tabby is a highly customizable cross-platform open-source terminal emulator.
It can connect to SSH servers using its integrated connection manager and offers various customization options in terms of appearance and other functionalities. It also supports plugins; these can be added from the settings menu to add more functionality to the app.
If you have been a user of PowerShell ISE, PuTTY, or the mac terminal, Tabby will suit you as a perfect replacement.

They also offer an experimental web app, if you are a fan of it, feel free to try it out.
