About This App

cool-retro-term is a free, open-source terminal emulator that mimics the visual appearance and feel of 1980s cathode-ray tube monitors, complete with phosphor decay effects, scanlines, and adjustable color schemes (amber, green, or white phosphor). It is built on Qt and designed to be lightweight and fully customizable through a context menu interface, letting developers and enthusiasts personalize fonts, colors, and visual effects. The app runs on Linux and macOS. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

cool-retro-term has a confirmed native Apple Silicon build already in use on real Macs. The recommended path is to download the latest release from the project's GitHub releases page, which now ships both Intel (x86_64) and native Apple Silicon (ARM64) binaries—the installer will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and install the correct version. If you originally installed cool-retro-term from SourceForge or another older distribution point, visiting the GitHub repository's releases section and downloading the current macOS build will give you the native version. Your existing configuration and saved preferences will carry over automatically after you launch the new build.
