Terminator

Terminator is a development application developed by Zaman Huseyinli, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.2 weighing in at 5.19 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 5.19 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Zaman Huseyinli" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

• Material UI with full color mapping, implemented in its own color interface


• AMOLED black and dynamic (Material You) color support


• Custom RGB codes and custom CSS terminal colors for a simple/plain look


• Built-in themes: default, Solarized Dark, Gruvbox Dark, Dracula, Nord — palettes are configurable yourself, with Termcolor and CSS color support


• See the Terminator-themes repo (github.com/8dmusichannels-star/terminator-themes) for example custom themes/palettes

• Multi-session support: create multiple sessions, set a default/favorite


• File-based or command-argument sessions — in command-arg sessions you specify the executable to run, in file-based sessions the shell script name/path


• Both support a login path, startup directory, and direct root session activation (without calling /system/bin/su)


• Note: if you pass a chroot/proot-like environment as an argument, the starting directory may not work — only valid for arguments that support an entry path. Chroot validity in root/proot-like environments is variable


• Purge-on-clear setting: controls whether old data left in the terminal's PTY buffer is actually wiped

• Hyperlinks: only whitelisted formats open by default; custom app schemes can be allowed via session settings, at your own risk


• OSC 32 clipboard read support for the clipboard/terminal


• SRM and local echo — note: with an IME, double characters/typing risk can occur, similar to a physical keyboard


• Kitty terminal protocol (all protocols) and Kitty terminal emulation


• Sixel image rendering, with iTerm2 inline image support


• OSC 777 and OSC 9 notifications: with phone notifications enabled, the terminal (or your own notification-based app) can notify you


• Custom or default notification sound


• Export the session as .txt, with an option to show/hide the save button

• Resize by text size, terminal width, or temporary session zoom; pinch-to-zoom toggle (on by default)


• Alpha/transparency with background support and background blur


• Fonts: monospace, sans, serif embedded, plus custom TTF/OTF fonts


• Show/hide status bar and title bar; horizontal orientation supported


• Split screen and floating screen, with a toggle to show/hide their switch buttons


• Broadcast-to-all-panes toggle: sends typed text/commands to every open split/float session at once


• Clear-all-sessions toggle: off hides the clear button on session close; on clears all sessions


• Physical keyboard and mouse support

• Soft keyboard (tap to open/close) and virtual keybar, independently toggleable, plus toggleable shortcut/keymapper buttons to map physical keys to the virtual keyboard


• Login/IME modes: default (all IMEs, incl. solid CJK button), semantically correct (may break some IMEs), old workaround for Samsung keyboard echo (may break Gboard), CJK input (default recommended)


• Seccomp support resolves operation-disallowed errors

Is Terminator free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Terminator require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Terminator safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Zaman Huseyinli. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Terminator?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded com.terminator.app.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «Terminator» by Zaman Huseyinli and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
