Tilix

A tiling terminal emulator for Linux using GTK+3.

Tilix is an advanced tiling terminal emulator designed for Linux users who need powerful terminal management. Built on GTK3 and following Gnome Human Interface Guidelines, it provides a modern, intuitive interface for managing multiple terminal sessions.

Key capabilities include:

  • Flexible pane layouts - Split terminals horizontally or vertically in any configuration to suit your workflow
  • Drag and drop reorganization - Rearrange panes within windows or between different windows with simple mouse gestures
  • Persistent session management - Save terminal groupings and layouts to disk, then restore them exactly as you left them
  • Custom hyperlinks and titles - Define custom links and terminal titles for better organization
  • Transparent background images - Personalize your terminal with background image support
  • Smart notifications - Receive alerts when background processes complete, even when terminals are out of view

Tilix is available across major Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Debian, and many others, with straightforward installation through standard package managers. The project actively welcomes community contributions through its GitHub repository and uses Weblate for translation support, making it accessible in multiple languages.
