Ghostty

Ghostty is a terminal emulator. Its website describes it as fast, feature-rich and cross-platform, with a platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

This entry is based only on the public description on the website's home page. Very little body text could be retrieved from the home page, and the documentation pages could not be retrieved. For that reason, this entry does not cover installation methods, supported OS versions, configuration or the license. Please refer to the official documentation for those details.

Key features

• Speed: The project presents "fast" as its core selling point and uses GPU-accelerated rendering.
• Feature-rich: It is positioned as a full-featured, modern terminal emulator.
• Cross-platform: It is available on multiple platforms.
• Platform-native UI: The interface uses each platform's native controls rather than a single custom-drawn UI, so it feels closer to the apps that ship with your system.

Who it's for and when to use it

It suits developers, system administrators and power users who work in the command line a lot. If you want a terminal that balances speed and features and has a native look, you can consider it as an alternative to terminal emulators such as iTerm2, Alacritty, kitty and WezTerm.
