iTerm is OSX' killer app. Couldn't find anything similar on Windows. I used MobaXTerm which is ok but never feels as polished and slick as iTerm. Especially iTerm's own fullscreen mode which allows to quickly alt-tab is great.

OSX-only apps that I absolutely love and consider must-haves: Free: Iterm2 Spectacles Sip Not free: Dash Textmate (I use it as the equivalent of Windows' Notepad.exe) Transmit Sketch Paw If anyone has any other suggestions for things that they consider must-haves, I'd love to know about them so I can try them out!

FYI, TextMate has been FOSS for years!

I just wanted to add to the line of replies saying thanks for your hard work on iTerm2. I use it every day. Thank you for making it. It's awesome.

iTerm2 is the most beautiful, customizable and usable OS X terminal replacement in the history of everything. Full stop.

Go2shell also makes iTerm2 slightly even better, just don't mistype it without that 's'.

Sadly, iTerm2 doesn't make coffee or answer email, and for these couple of trivial, unrealistic failings I'm anonymously internet outraged with a cohort petition of at least 235k signatures so far to have your head boiled in stew for Christmas dinner served with canapés, yorkshire pudding and choclate creme pie. Yum. Can't wait. :-)

Leaping to somewhat serious now: another project support stream is actually cool schwag: stickers, t-shirts, mugs, hats, tech bits, so forth.. Some limited edition stuff.

I have been a long time Visor/TotalTerminal user and wanted to try iTerm2 on 10.11 but was concerned with its use of the Sparkle updater framework. I could find no sign through all of my research if confirm if updates are performed through https instead of http and I declined to install it. I also couldn't find a way to contact the anyone to ask, so I'm glad you posted. So? What does it use? Don't you think this may be worth noting on the announcement or changelog?

> Session Restoration allows your jobs to keep running after iTerm2 upgrades, is force-quit, or crashes. It's like tmux without tmux! Anyone know how this works? From my basic (possibly incorrect) understanding, iTerm currently spawns a bash shell for each tab which in turn has its own children for its processes; so killing iTerm would kill all of its children. Does it use a separate daemon process to spawn children…

Amazing work. This app has so many features that I think go unnoticed to many. I recommend going through all of the tips of the day (iTerm2 -> Show Tip of the Day) and perusing the various preferences available in the app.

I donated a while back and will be donating again tonight.

Why are you concerned with Sparkle? Is it because it's a third party library or whether or not iTerm2 makes HTTPS updates?

It seems a little debugging with LittleSnitch/Charles would glean an answer how the requests are made and what, if anything else is. Perhaps a ticket https://iterm2.com/bugs is warranted.

(user here). Thank you, so much, for creating iTerm2 and keeping it going all these years. iTerm is now my only development environment, I also use the shell for email, HipChat, IM and of course IRC. I can stay in the shell pretty much all day. It's straightforward, easy to customize, and has built-in support for tmux. What more could I ask for? :)

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for all of those applications in your terminal? I love to know what other people use for email, irc, etc.
