Terminal deluxe

Are you afraid of your Mac's Terminal? True, it doesn't offer the most exciting interface of all the applications you could find on your Mac, but iTerm furnishes the Terminal with a slightly more engaging interface.

Those of you that regularly use the Terminal shouldn't be afraid though. iTerm doesn't completely change it or hide it under a heap of unnecessary features. Instead, it makes for a clear and effective interface. Your Terminal window still takes up the center of your screen, yet you are given a number of buttons to help you out.

The top of the interface features buttons to quickly close the window, open new ones or customize the interface. I particularly liked the quick execute box at the top. This lets you launch commands without wasting any time.

iTerm also lets you use both Growl and Bonjour with the Terminal. You'll find a sidebar for bookmarks, which you can save and use any time.

Although it won't supercharge your Terminal, iTerm makes for a more accessible interface.

  • Pros

    • Use with Growl and Bonjour
    • Save bookmarks
    • Execute bar
  • Cons

    • Not a big difference from the original

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
