One of the top Mac applications I ever had the pleasure to install and work with. Sure - this one is not "productivity" per sé, but what is productivity without some mental health, and what is technology without some level of nostalgia?
Small. so-very-complete in all aspects intended by the creator. Aesthetically perfect. Detailed, intricate, elegant beautiful. Follows so pedantically on the Mac application guidelines and rules -
I'd say "Perfect".
Yeah, and again. "Perfect" application.
For whosever had the chance to experience computer terminals (real ones, hardware, not "terminal processes" on some computer) in the 70s 80s and 90s - this is THE opportunity to go back in time, have this strange feeling of "Ive been here before" - and just explode with laughter and joy and one tear of nostalgia.
BTW -- it is also completely usable, and I DO USE IT whenever I still need terminal. Only rarely I open MacOS terminal at work for few things. For the most part - it's Cathode.
So sad I'm writing this after the app disappeared together with the web-site of the creator. I wish I could contact them to thank in person. I just hope they're all well.
