Terminator

Terminator is a terminal emulator with multi-session support you can directly customize and control. Its main purpose is terminal emulation that can only be read by the user, suitable for daily use on Android. It does not offer a ready-made chroot/proot environment — the terminal tool infrastructure and other setup is left to you.

Appearance

Material UI with full color mapping, implemented in its own color interface

AMOLED black and dynamic (Material You) color support

Custom RGB codes and custom CSS terminal colors for a simple/plain look

Built-in themes: default, Solarized Dark, Gruvbox Dark, Dracula, Nord — palettes are configurable yourself, with Termcolor and CSS color support

See the Terminator-themes repo (github.com/8dmusichannels-star/terminator-themes) for example custom themes/palettes

Sessions

Multi-session support: create multiple sessions, set a default/favorite

File-based or command-argument sessions — in command-arg sessions you specify the executable to run, in file-based sessions the shell script name/path

Both support a login path, startup directory, and direct root session activation (without calling /system/bin/su)

Note: if you pass a chroot/proot-like environment as an argument, the starting directory may not work — only valid for arguments that support an entry path. Chroot validity in root/proot-like environments is variable

Purge-on-clear setting: controls whether old data left in the terminal's PTY buffer is actually wiped

Terminal features

Hyperlinks: only whitelisted formats open by default; custom app schemes can be allowed via session settings, at your own risk

OSC 32 clipboard read support for the clipboard/terminal

SRM and local echo — note: with an IME, double characters/typing risk can occur, similar to a physical keyboard

Kitty terminal protocol (all protocols) and Kitty terminal emulation

Sixel image rendering, with iTerm2 inline image support

OSC 777 and OSC 9 notifications: with phone notifications enabled, the terminal (or your own notification-based app) can notify you

Custom or default notification sound

Export the session as .txt, with an option to show/hide the save button

Display, resizing and layout

Resize by text size, terminal width, or temporary session zoom; pinch-to-zoom toggle (on by default)

Alpha/transparency with background support and background blur
