This is a Great emulator for those guys who used the CRT in the 80s. Plenty of options, now you can get the screen youve dreamed of but had no way to possess. It used to be $25+ app but now they have corrected the price and it’s a must have! PS: If you want tabs/splits or whatever fancy features you best bet is iTerm anyway PPS: Author, get at least 2x2 split screen working and it’s gonna rock! %) Best wishes

Nostalgy for the fans
Cool, but impractical
There’s no denying the cool factor of this app - or the nostalgia aspect of it. But coolness and nostalgia aside, it’s impractical. The special effects make the screen look cool, but they also make reading difficult - you’ll find yourself increasing the font size to improve readability. And once you do that, the amount of text that can fit on the screen is severely reduced.
Nice but...
the "scan-lines » effect is not viewable on macbook 13’ non-retina !!! need to up scale to maximum to see the scan lines
Very entertaining Terminal emulator!
Cathode provides a fun and entertaining terminal that’s fully functional, and that also doubles as a plain text editor. Handling the display settings can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but that’s because Cathode is very flexible. Just something I missed: Being able to select the bold version of system fonts, such as Monaco.
Almost perfect
The only thing missing is the possibility to use fonts with powerline and other unicode charactere icons.
Großer Spaßfaktor
Stabile Lösung, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und umfangreichen Einstellungen. Man muss einfach grinsen ob der Nostalgie. Ich könnte nicht sagen, was mir fehlt - daher fünf Sterne.
This is awesome
Ever wanted that Matrix-Look on your rig? Here you got it :)
