iTerm2 alternatives
iTerm2 is a macOS terminal replacement with split panes, search, and a huge scrollback, free to download. It is a poor fit if you need contracts, SSO, or a named vendor SLA. Here are 6 tools on Toolora that do a similar job, 6 of them free or with a free tier, and what each one does differently.
