OTTY - an open-source terminal-centric workspace for development and operations.

WORK IN PROGRESS: Now this project is under active development phase, you can support it by providing your thoughts, development ideas and even contributing as a developer.

About

OTTY is not just another blazing-fast terminal emulator. It starts from a different premise: the terminal should be the primary workspace for development and operations, not just a shell inside a fragmented toolchain.

Developers already spend much of their time in the terminal, yet modern terminals remain narrow interfaces. As a result, engineers constantly switch between the terminal, editors, dashboards, and SSH clients instead of working in one coherent environment. OTTY is built to turn the terminal into that environment.

Key feautres

• Explorer that stays in sync with your work
  Browse project files from the sidebar and keep navigation aligned with the directory of the active terminal session.

• Quick Launch for saved commands and SSH targets
  Save frequently used commands or SSH connections and launch them without retyping the same input every time.

• Interface localization in ten languages Follow the system locale or choose a language from Settings > General > Language.

• Block-based terminal UI
  OTTY structures terminal output activity around atomic command blocks, making it easier to control each command and its output.

Install

From artifacts

Prebuilt artifacts are published on the GitHub Releases page: https://github.com/otty-shell/otty/releases

With Homebrew (macOS)

brew install --cask otty-shell/tap/otty

OTTY is not notarized by Apple, so macOS would report it as "damaged" on first launch. The cask removes the macOS quarantine mark after every install and upgrade, so OTTY opens right away.

Supported Platforms

• Linux: AppImage and DEB- or RPM-based distributions (.AppImage / .deb / .rpm).
• macOS: Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (aarch64) builds (.dmg).
