AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWindTerm has not been updated for several years and there is no native Apple Silicon build. The latest available version is 2.6.1, compiled for Intel only (x86_64 architecture), which currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs but will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). Before that deadline you should evaluate alternatives that are actively maintained with confirmed native Apple Silicon support. iTerm2 is the most direct Mac-focused replacement and has shipped native Apple Silicon builds since 2021; it offers comparable terminal emulation, tmux integration, and session management. Alternatively, Warp or Kitty provide modern cross-platform options with native Apple Silicon support. If you rely heavily on WindTerm's SSH/SFTP workflows, begin testing one of these alternatives now so you have time to transfer your session configurations and credentials before September 2028.
