Developers and anyone seeking a solution to install themes and plugins from the command line
About Hyper
Hyper is an Electron-based terminal, built on HTML/CSS/JS, and fully extensible. Install themes and plugins from the command line. The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. In the beginning, our focus will be primarily on speed, stability, and the development of the correct API for extension authors. In the future, we anticipate the community will come up with innovative additions to enhance what could be the simplest, most powerful, and well-tested interface for productivity. Extensions are available on npm. All command keys can be changed. Extensions are universal Node.js modules loaded by both Electron and the renderer process. Instead of exposing a custom API method or parameter for every possible customization point, we allow you to intercept and compose every bit of functionality! You can find additional details about plugin development in the Hyper repository.

Waycar
Waycar is a native iPhone and iPad app for developers who want to monitor and control coding agents running on their own Mac or Linux computers. It connects to hosts over SSH and can use mosh for live terminal sessions, with SSH fallback. The app brings agent and shell sessions from herdr or tmux into a console, where users can open terminals, read output, send prompts, respond to supported permission requests, and receive alerts when agents are blocked or done. It supports several coding-agent command-line tools, with controls varying by harness. Hosts must remain powered on and reachable. Waycar does not require an account or route terminal sessions through a cloud service. The free tier allows 10 new or resumed launches per rolling 30 days; Pro removes that limit. Waycar is designed for individual developers using their own machines.

Noden
Noden is a native macOS client (SwiftUI, no Electron) that brings SSH, SFTP, a Windows RDP desktop and serial console into one window, side by side. Run a multi-session terminal in a resizable grid with broadcast input, transfer files with a dual-pane SFTP manager, open RDP rendered with Metal, and reach switches and routers over serial. The Touch ID password vault keeps passwords, SSH keys, API tokens and TOTP/2FA codes in the macOS Keychain, never on external servers, with a browser extension for Safari, Chrome and Firefox that fills website logins and 2FA codes. Import your vault from 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass or Chrome. Noden also connects to legacy switches and routers that other Mac clients refuse, and adds an approve-first AI command assistant. Free for up to 5 connections; Pro is $5.99 the first year, then $10.99 per year. Requires macOS 13 or later.
