About WezTerm

WezTerm is a terminal emulator and multiplexer created by Wez Furlong and implemented in Rust. It renders with the GPU, runs on several operating systems, and combines terminal emulation with built-in multiplexing so that tabs, panes and sessions can be managed without a separate tool. Repository topics also mention serial port support. The project's own site hosts the user guide and installation instructions.

The README describes it as a spare-time project, so response times from the maintainer may vary. Support channels are the GitHub issue tracker, GitHub Discussions and a Matrix room, and sponsorship is accepted through Patreon, Ko-fi and Liberapay to help cover maintenance costs. The most recent tagged release in the repository dates from February 2024, so check the commit history for current activity. The repository metadata lists the license as Other.
