SLTerm

Open-Source Modern Terminal by Salyvn

SLTerm is a modern, feature-rich terminal built on Electron. It combines the power of a traditional terminal with a graphical workspace — file previews, web browsing, and rich customization — all in one window.

✨ Features

• Drag & Drop Workspace — Organize terminal blocks, editors, and web browsers in a flexible tiled layout
• Built-in Editor — Edit local and remote files with syntax highlighting
• Rich File Previews — Markdown, images, video, PDFs, CSVs, directories
• One-Click SSH Connections — Full terminal and file system access to remote servers
• 🌐 i18n Support — English & Vietnamese, with easy extension to more languages
• 🎨 Theming — 18 built-in themes, custom backgrounds, transparency, and blur effects
• Command Blocks — Isolate and monitor individual commands
• wsh CLI — Powerful command system for managing your workspace from the terminal
• Cross-platform installers — NSIS for Windows, .dmg for macOS, AppImage and .deb for Linux

📥 Installation

Download from Releases.

Windows

macOS

Unzip and move SLTerm.app to /Applications. Builds are currently unsigned, so the first launch needs right-click → Open (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SLTerm.app) to get past Gatekeeper. A .dmg will return once the project has a signing certificate.

Linux

Minimum Requirements

• Windows 10 1809 or later (x64)
• macOS 11 or later (arm64, x64)
• Linux glibc-2.28+ (Debian 10, Ubuntu 20.04, RHEL 8)
