What it does

  • Chrome-style tabs over independent shell sessions.
  • Visual file browser alongside the terminal, not buried behind a command.
  • Full Linux distributions bundled and launched under proot — no root needed.
  • Root and Shizuku integration where a session asks for elevation.
  • Custom Looper/Handler threading so PTY reads never touch the main thread.

The build is signed but not distributed through Play, so Android will ask before installing. This site was itself built inside a proot Ubuntu session of the kind NEXTERM launches.
