tmux Alternatives

tmux is described as 'Terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals (or windows), each running a separate program, to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached' and is a very popular terminal emulator in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to tmux for Linux, Mac, Windows, Rust and Wayland. The best tmux alternative is GNU Screen, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like tmux are WezTerm, byobu, Zellij and RMUX.

    shpool is a service that enables session persistence by allowing the creation of named shell sessions owned by shpool so that the session is not lost if the connection drops. shpool can be thought of as a lighter weight alternative to tmux or GNU screen.
