Tabbed ConPTY terminal
Real Windows ConPTY sessions in tabs, organized into named groups. Chrome-style tab keys, drag to reorder, and every shell you already use — cmd, PowerShell, WSL.
Native Windows terminal, zero bloat
A fast, native terminal + connection manager for Windows
terust runs real ConPTY sessions in tabs and groups, broadcasts a command to a whole group at once, tiles sessions side by side, and manages your SSH, RDP, and VNC connections — all from one window that starts instantly and stays out of your way.
One ~800 KB exe. No installer ceremony, no admin prompt, no telemetry. Launch it with ter.
Everything a fleet of shells needs
One tab is a terminal. Ten tabs are a fleet — and terust gives you the group tools to drive a fleet without losing track of a single session.
Broadcast & tiled views
Type once, run everywhere: broadcast keystrokes to every tab in a group, or tile the group side by side to watch all of them respond at the same time.
SSH, RDP & VNC connections
A built-in connection manager that drives Windows' own
ssh.exe and mstsc — your credentials
stay with Windows, never with terust.
Zoomable Browse view
Zoom out to a live overview of every session in a group, spot the one that needs you, and zoom back in — like a map for your terminals.
Aliases & quick keys
Bind the commands you type fifty times a day to short aliases and user quick keys, and fire them into any session with a keystroke.
History autocomplete
Start typing and your history completes it as ghost text — press Tab to accept. The suggestion engine runs locally and never slows your typing down.
Resumable sessions
Close the window, come back, and pick up where you left off. Command history is tracked per session and resettable whenever you want a clean slate.
QuickEdit copy & paste
Classic QuickEdit mouse behavior done right: drag to select and copy, right-click to paste — no modes, no menus, no interruptions.
Built different
Most terminals ship a browser engine and a runtime. terust ships a program. It respects your machine, your privacy, and your time.
- Single ~800 KB exe — no installer, no runtime, no folders full of DLLs.
- A few MB of RAM and instant startup, even with dozens of tabs.
- Launch with
ter— three letters from any Run box or shell. - No telemetry — terust makes zero network calls of its own.
- asInvoker — it never asks for admin, ever.
- Offline license verification — no account, no activation server, no phoning home.
Runs on Windows 10 1809 or later. macOS and Linux are on the roadmap.
Free to use, pay once for Pro
The Free tier is a complete terminal — unlimited tabs, groups, and tiling. Pro is a one-time purchase in the Sublime style: no subscription, no account, verified fully offline.
Download it, type ter, done
Grab the exe from GitHub Releases, drop it anywhere on your PATH, and launch. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure before your first tab opens.
