How Onda compares

Pick a terminal you already know to see exactly where Onda fits — and where it doesn't. Each comparison includes a feature table, "when to pick which", and FAQ.

Onda vs Warp

Modern AI terminal with cloud collaboration

Onda is open-plugin, no-account, MCP-native and runs offline.

Onda vs iTerm2

The classic macOS power-user terminal

Onda adds MCP, AI session resume, plugins and a Git panel — without losing what iTerm2 fans love.

Onda vs Ghostty

Fast, native, GPU-accelerated terminal

Onda focuses on AI workflows: MCP tools, session detection, embedded dev preview.

Onda vs tmux

Terminal multiplexer, the CLI way

Onda gives you mosaic split panes and persistence as a native macOS GUI — no .tmux.conf required.

Not sure which one is for you?

Onda is free for macOS — install it alongside your current terminal and switch when it clicks.
