The best terminal emulator for Mac
I've tried a number of different terminal emulators and this is orders of magnitudes better than anything else I've used on Mac.
Working very well on my M1 Mac as a Universal Application.
Very nice and easy to use UI, but the highlight is the integrated USB drivers for most popular adapters. I don't think that this is expensive considering what you are getting, I think its great value for money. — €l€ctron
Exactly what you need
I am a network engineer, and electronics hobbyist on the side. This does exactly what you need it to do, and not much more (which is a breath of fresh air.) It's just an app you can count on when you need to access a device via a serial connection. Drivers included for popular chipsets and Bluetooth. I never have to worry about whether my USB adapter is supported, I just plug it in, launch the app, do what I need to do, and get on with my life. It's absolutely perfect - don't change a thing. — SirNickity
