One cross-platform terminal. Linux and Windows.

One clipboard, one pair of keys

Ctrl+Shift+C copies, Ctrl+Shift+V pastes — the same two shortcuts on every platform, so nothing to relearn when you switch machines. Alt+key still passes straight through to the shell, so an AI CLI running in the pane keeps its own bindings.

The prompt's directory, tracked correctly

Under ConPTY, Windows reports the wrong working directory for a running shell. CPT asks the shell to report its own over OSC 7, follows it through child processes, and records the whole chain in diagnostics when it does not arrive — so panes that track your directory stay pointed at the right repository.

Any shell you want

Name the shell in Settings → Terminal — powershell.exe, pwsh, cmd.exe, bash, or wsl.exe. PowerShell is instrumented for directory reporting out of the box; the choice applies to new terminals.

No console window

Built with the Windows GUI subsystem. No flashing black console window on launch, no separate terminal hiding behind your workspace.

AppImage works on modern distros

Modern Fedora and Ubuntu ship FUSE 3 only, which breaks standard AppImages. Cross Platform Terminal ships with the type2 runtime that supports both FUSE 2 and FUSE 3 - it just runs.

Atomic updates

The in-app updater replaces the binary atomically via rename(2) while the app is running. The next launch picks up the new binary - no package manager, no sudo.

Shell from $SHELL

New terminals inherit $SHELL automatically. Override it per-session in Settings → Terminal → Shell, or leave it unset and it follows your environment.
