Serial is a professional terminal and connectivity utility for macOS that enables direct communication with routers, servers, firewalls, industrial control systems, and IoT devices via serial, SSH, Telnet, and raw TCP connections. It features a full terminal emulator supporting Xterm, VT102, and ANSI controls, built-in drivers for USB serial adapters from FTDI, Silicon Labs, Prolific, TI, Microchip and many others, SSH client with identity management, Telnet support including RFC2217 extensions, and file transfer protocols like XMODEM and ZMODEM. Users can capture and log data in hex or text format, set custom baud rates, and save frequently-used device configurations. Serial is widely used by network engineers, system administrators, firmware developers, and anyone needing low-level device communication without hunting down external drivers. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSerial is now available as a native Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Since a community Mac has already confirmed running the native version, you can upgrade by visiting the Decisive Tactics product page and downloading the current installer, which will automatically serve the native build on M-series Macs. Your existing serial device configurations, saved connection profiles, and preferences will carry over without any manual migration. After installing the native version, you will see noticeably faster performance and significantly better battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
