Tabby the Copycat
Tabby is a free, open-source terminal emulator designed as a modern alternative to traditional terminal applications. It supports SSH, local shell, and Telnet connections, making it popular with developers, system administrators, and power users who need a feature-rich terminal with a contemporary interface. The app offers session management, split tabs, theming, and extensibility through plugins. It's actively maintained and widely used in developer communities for remote server access and local command-line work.

1 suggestionGood news: Tabby already has a native Apple Silicon version available. The Homebrew Cask data confirms that version 1.0.231 includes an arm64 (Apple Silicon) build. You can download it directly from the official GitHub releases page or install it via Homebrew. Since the app is actively maintained and the native version is already published, you should update to the latest version immediately — there's no need to wait or look for alternatives. Note that Homebrew flags a gatekeeper check issue with the current build, so if you install via Homebrew, you may need to allow the app in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, or download the .zip directly from GitHub and add it to Applications manually.
