• dvtm: Tiling window management for the console.
• tmux: A modern GNU Screen workalike; it is BSD-licensed, allows multiple panes (with optional Xterm mouse support), and has a scriptable command interface.^[6][7][8] tmux aimed to allow the sharing of a single window between multiple terminals, while keeping the other windows in the same session entirely separate.^[9] tmux has been part of the OpenBSD base system since 2009's version 4.6.^[10]
• Byobu: Byobu is a profile and configuration utilities for GNU Screen. In May 2009 screen-profiles was renamed Byobu.
