eDEX-UI
eDEX-UI is a fullscreen, cross-platform terminal emulator and system monitor with a customizable science fiction computer interface inspired by the TRON Legacy movie. It functions as a complete terminal with tabs, colors, mouse events and support for curses applications, while also providing real-time monitoring of CPU, RAM, swap, processes, and network activity including GeoIP tracking. The app supports touchscreen displays, customizable themes, CSS injection, on-screen keyboards, and optional sound effects. It appeals to developers, system administrators, and science fiction enthusiasts who want a visually distinctive terminal experience without sacrificing functionality.

1 suggestioneDEX-UI is actively maintained but does not yet ship a native Apple Silicon build for macOS. The latest version (2.2.8) is Intel-only and runs under Rosetta 2 today, but that emulation layer will disappear when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). The project maintainer has explicitly noted that native macOS arm64 builds have been temporarily disabled to resolve build issues, indicating that work is underway. Check the GitHub releases page periodically over the next two years — native Apple Silicon support may arrive before the macOS 28 deadline. If the project remains Intel-only approaching September 2028, you should plan to switch to an alternative terminal emulator at that time. For now, the app continues to function properly under Rosetta, so there is no immediate action required unless you strongly prefer native performance or plan to upgrade to macOS 28 on day one.
