About

CuteCom is a graphical serial terminal, like minicom.

  • easy to use GUI
  • no cryptic keyboard shortcuts
  • line-oriented interface instead of character-oriented
  • Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+S control sequences work (use CMD+ on MacOS)
  • input history
  • a cute GUI ;-)
  • session support via -s specified at the command line
  • switching sessions via a session manager
  • control panel hides when not used
  • xmodem, ymodem, zmodem support (requires the sz tools)
  • easy to differentiate between typed text and echoed text
  • select between read/write, read-only and write-only open mode
  • hexadecimal input and output
  • configurable line end characters (LF, CR, LFCR)
  • configurable delay between characters
  • optionally show control characters like line feed or tabs in output
  • optionally prefix each line in output with a timestamp
  • plugins (macros, netproxy)
