> Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s the REPL. I’m using Terminal.app on macOS, and I’ve set the title to be “Terminal” in the settings (all dynamic things like working directory, process name, etc. are unchecked).

It’s not just the REPL – if I run `julia -e "1"` in a terminal on my Mac, which doesn’t load the REPL (I think?), then it changes the window title permanently to `Julia` even after the `julia` process exits.

but I can’t figure out where in the Julia code this is done.

PS. See also this thread on how to manually change the window title: [Modify Title in REPL window - #11 by Palli](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/modify-title-in-repl-window/87803/11)
