Zapstore Catalog Multi-session terminal emulator with Material UI theming and root support
Terminator is a terminal emulator with multi-session support you can directly customize and control. Its main purpose is terminal emulation that can only be read by the user, suitable for daily use on Android. It does not offer a ready-made chroot/proot environment — the terminal tool infrastructure and other setup is left to you. **Appearance** - Material UI with full color mapping, implemented in its own color interface - AMOLED black and dynamic (Material You) color support - Custom RGB codes and custom CSS terminal colors for a simple/plain look - Built-in themes: default, Solarized Dark, Gruvbox Dark, Dracula, Nord — palettes are configurable yourself, with Termcolor and CSS color support - See the Terminator-themes repo (github.com/8dmusichannels-star/terminator-themes) for example custom themes/palettes **Sessions** - Multi-session support: create multiple sessions, set a default/favorite - File-based or command-argument sessions — in command-arg sessions you specify the executable to run, in file-based sessions the shell script name/path - Both support a login path, startup directory, and direct root session activation (without calling /system/bin/su) - Note: if you pass a chroot/proot-like environment as an argument, the starting directory may not work — only valid for arguments that support an entry path. Chroot validity in root/proot-like environments is variable - Purge-on-clear setting: controls whether old data left in the terminal's PTY buffer is actually wiped **Terminal features** - Hyperlinks: only whitelisted formats open by default; custom app schemes can be allowed via session settings, at your own risk - OSC 32 clipboard read support for the clipboard/terminal - SRM and local echo — note: with an IME, double characters/typing risk can occur, similar to a physical keyboard - Kitty terminal protocol (all protocols) and Kitty terminal emulation - Sixel image rendering, with iTerm2 inline image support - OSC 777 and OSC 9 notifications: with phone notifications enabled, the terminal (or your own notification-based app) can notify you - Custom or default notification sound - Export the session as .txt, with an option to show/hide the save button **Display, resizing and layout** - Resize by text size, terminal width, or temporary session zoom; pinch-to-zoom toggle (on by default) - Alpha/transparency with background support and background blur - Fonts: monospace, sans, serif embedded, plus custom TTF/OTF fonts - Show/hide status bar and title bar; horizontal orientation supported - Split screen and floating screen, with a toggle to show/hide their switch buttons - Broadcast-to-all-panes toggle: sends typed text/commands to every open split/float session at once - Clear-all-sessions toggle: off hides the clear button on session close; on clears all sessions - Physical keyboard and mouse support **Keyboard** - Soft keyboard (tap to open/close) and virtual keybar, independently toggleable, plus toggleable shortcut/keymapper buttons to map physical keys to the virtual keyboard - Login/IME modes: default (all IMEs, incl. solid CJK button), semantically correct (may break some IMEs), old workaround for Samsung keyboard echo (may break Gboard), CJK input (default recommended) - Seccomp support resolves operation-disallowed errors **Supported TERM types** NONE ($TERM left unset), xterm, xterm-color, xterm-256color (recommended, full support for vim/htop/nano etc.), screen, screen-256color, tmux, tmux-256color, xterm-kitty, vt220, vt100 (minimal, near-universal), ANSI (basic, no 256-color). Terminator leaves shell tools/environment setup up to you, giving deep control over appearance, sessions, and keyboard behavior.
