Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

If you spend a lot of time in the terminal zellij is a cool alternative to tmux.

Why do I want an alternative to tmux? Like what's your favorite thing it gives you?

Maybe they've fixed it now, but I remember tmux having weird issues with scrollback and mouse events (clicks etc).

I prefer using tabs in my terminal app, and would use tmux just to handle if the connection drops. I use Eternal Terminal for that these days.

I enjoy the discoverable UI, and the way it handles windows and panes. Overall I think its a cool project with a lot of potential.

Eternal Terminal is a good alternative to tmux too, it you're just using it to run stuff in the background / reconnect after losing connection. Things like scrollback work normally.
