Cathode is a graphically rich vintage terminal emulator.
Bask in the glow of over-bright phosphors that flash on and slowly fade away. Customize the screen’s curvature, colors, and transparency. Slow the bit-rate to a crawl. Watch the strange dance of beam desyncs and shifting colors. Turn up the noise, jitter, and flicker to add a realistic warmth. Immerse yourself in full-screen mode.
Beautiful Bitmaps
Choose from a handful of classic bitmap fonts, or, use a modern one already installed on your machine. Turn up the interlace for extra authenticity.
