Virtual terminal multiplexer that builds a text-based desktop environment from any CLI app.

Desktopfree

vtm is an open-source virtual terminal multiplexer distributed as a single executable, letting users nest and arrange any command-line application into a text-based desktop environment. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems, and doubles as a standalone terminal emulator with SSH support. Built for terminal and TUI power users who want a desktop-like workspace without leaving the console.
