mOT

macOS Opinionated Terminal —
⌥ Space, tabs, key-to-display latency > throughput.

Download · Free

Free covers everything — full app, every update, no nag. Pro ($5) is only for when my defaults aren't yours: it unlocks ~/.mot.yaml so you can swap fonts, colors, opacity, and the hotkey, hot-reloaded on save.
