What it does

Baudrun keeps named profiles for each device, runs a full terminal emulator with vendor-aware syntax highlighting, and identifies USB-serial adapters that need a driver. macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single download.

Profiles

Each device gets a saved profile with port, baud rate, parity, line endings, and a theme. Connection takes one click.

Terminal

Native VT100 / xterm parsing with scrollback, selection, syntax highlighting for IPs, MACs, interface names, and vendor-specific output. Copy / paste / select-all wired to the platform clipboard.

Cross-platform

macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single Rust binary. GPU-accelerated rendering, native title-bar and traffic-light treatment per platform, single-file install.

Adapter detection

Recognizes CH340, CP210x, FTDI, and other common USB-serial chipsets. Identifies missing drivers and links to the vendor download.
