Live syntax highlighting over rendered terminal output

Feature Highlights

Product moments pulled from the actual appusing the screenshots in your public folder.

This section turns your uploaded captures into a visual tour of what matters once someone is inside macXterm.

Syntax Intelligence

Surface logs, commands, and shell structure at a glance

The screenshots you added already tell the story: highlighting is not cosmetic, it makes output scannable under pressure.

Highlight categories and presets

Read warnings and paths faster

Built directly into terminal rendering

Saved Workspaces

Keep every server and foldered session within reach

The sidebar is built for operators with real host inventories, not a handful of disposable tabs.

  • Group hosts by environment
  • Search and reopen saved sessions fast
  • Designed for dense production inventories

Terminal Controls

Tune the terminal without leaving the workflow

Appearance, behavior, and syntax options live in the app instead of being buried in config files.

  • Adjust behavior visually
  • Manage syntax highlighting
  • Keep the setup native to macOS
Explore controls
System Visibility

Watch resource pressure without switching tools

Live CPU, memory, disk, and uptime details make each session more useful during incident work.

  • Server telemetry inside the terminal
  • Better situational awareness mid-session
  • Made for troubleshooting and ops
Inspect workflow tools
Quick Actions

Put the common tools one contextual click away

The context menu screenshot adds the missing layer between keyboard speed and discoverable power features.

  • Fast access to session actions
  • Useful defaults without clutter
  • Bridges new users into advanced flows

AI Companion

Generate, explain, and repair commands in the same terminal workspace

The side-panel AI companion makes the assistant feel embedded in the session instead of bouncing you out to a separate chat tool.

  • Translate intent into shell commands
  • Explain terminal output without leaving context
  • Repair failed commands from the same side panel
See AI features
Password Vault

Lock saved passwords and private keys behind a dedicated vault

The password manager screen shows that sensitive credentials are treated like a first-class security workflow, with clear locked-state controls and explicit reset handling.

  • Keep saved passwords and private keys behind a vault
  • Show operators when the vault is locked before secrets are exposed
  • Separate unlock and reset actions for safer credential handling
See security features
Saved Credentials

Browse stored logins and keys only after the vault is unlocked

This unlocked vault view shows the security model continuing into daily use: credentials stay organized in one place, but only after the operator explicitly unlocks the manager.

  • Show saved credentials only in the unlocked state
  • Separate credentials and private keys into clear tabs
  • Let teams add, review, and manage secrets from one secured workspace
See security features
Jump Chains

Build multi-hop SSH paths directly into saved sessions

The session editor now shows jump chains as a first-class control, so bastion routing is configured once and reused safely.

  • Configure one hop per line
  • Reuse bastion paths in saved presets
  • Make multi-hop access easier to audit
See connection features
Startup Scripts

Run repeatable post-connect setup as soon as the shell is ready

Per-session startup commands turn routine environment prep into part of the connection profile instead of tribal knowledge.

  • Attach setup commands to saved sessions
  • Automate routine context switches after login
  • Keep repeatable shell prep consistent across teams
Explore workflow tools
Folder Setup

Create smarter folders with icons and instant session cleanup

New folders can carry the right icon from the start and absorb orphaned saved sessions immediately, so large inventories stay organized as they grow.

  • Choose a visual icon for each folder
  • Pull orphaned sessions into the right place right away
  • Keep big saved-session lists easier to scan
See organization features
Folder Notes

Save operational notes right beside the folders and server groups they describe

Notes live inside the same hierarchy as your hosts, so IP ranges, rack details, maintenance steps, and handoff context stay attached to the right environment.

  • Keep lab and environment notes with the matching folder
  • Store quick reference details without a separate document
  • Make shared server groups easier to understand at a glance
