quardCRT is a cross-platform terminal emulator and remote desktop client for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It focuses on a consistent user experience across platforms while still exposing the features expected from a modern daily-use terminal: multi-tab workflows, session management, file transfer, theming, language switching, and a growing plugin ecosystem.

quardCRT is designed for users who want a tool that is easy to start with, but still capable enough for regular development, embedded debugging, server maintenance, and light remote desktop work.
