// SEE SCREENSHOTS OF THE REAL THING
01

GPU-accelerated rendering. Smooth scrolling under heavy output, and idle CPU drops to nearly nothing — your fan stays quiet and your battery lasts.

02

Splits, tabs, and floating panes live inside the terminal. No tmux to install, no compatibility layer to fight, no second config language to learn.

03

Windows, Linux, and macOS get the same terminal — same features, same keybindings, same look. No platform was an afterthought.

// CAPABILITIES

BEAUTIFUL TYPOGRAPHY

Ligatures and contextual alternates render the way your font designer intended. Color emoji, complex scripts, multi-font fallback for missing glyphs, OpenType features, and crisp text at any size on any display.

BUILT-IN MULTIPLEXING

Splits (Ctrl+Shift+O / Ctrl+Shift+E), floating panes (Ctrl+Shift+P), keyboard navigation between panes, drag-to-resize dividers, zoom, equalize, and undo/redo for layout changes. No tmux required.

IMAGES & PROTOCOLS

Kitty graphics, Sixel, and iTerm2 inline images render directly in the terminal. OSC 8 explicit hyperlinks, automatic URL detection, shell integration for prompt-aware navigation, mouse reporting, bracketed paste, and the Kitty keyboard protocol.

FAST AND QUIET

The terminal stays smooth under heavy output and drops to almost no CPU when nothing is happening. Battery and fans stay quiet; long-running sessions don't bog down your machine.

// INSTALL ALPHA

$ curl -fsSL https://oriterm.com/install.sh | sh COPY
