Getting started

Go from download to a comfortable Termy setup in a few minutes.

1. Install the app

Download the build for your platform, install it, and complete the first launch.

Install Termy →

macOS builds are not signed yet. If macOS says Termy is damaged or refuses to open it, follow the one-command fix in Troubleshooting.

2. Confirm the essentials

On first launch, Termy uses your login shell and a system monospace font. Open Settings with Cmd , on macOS or Ctrl , on Linux and Windows.
