About:
Extraterm is an advanced, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that transforms the command-line experience with rich media support. It allows users to render images, videos, and HTML directly within the terminal, alongside features like command output panes and inline command output display. This tool enhances productivity for developers and power users by bridging the gap between traditional CLI workflows and modern graphical interfaces.
Key Features:
  • Inline image and video rendering
  • Command output panes and inline display
  • GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth performance
  • Support for custom themes and key bindings
  • Integrated shell integration for enhanced workflows
Use Cases:
  • Developers visualizing data outputs like graphs or images directly in the terminal
  • Power users managing complex command pipelines with inline previews
  • Sysadmins reviewing logs or media files without leaving the CLI
Alternatives:
  • iTerm2 – iTerm2 is a popular macOS terminal with advanced features but lacks native inline media rendering like Extraterm
  • Alacritty – Alacritty focuses on speed and simplicity as a GPU-accelerated terminal, but does not support embedded images or HTML
