ghostty
GPU-accelerated terminal emulator pushing modern features.
About
ghostty is a cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that aims to push the boundaries of what is possible with a terminal emulator by exposing modern, opt-in features that enable CLI tool developers to build more feature rich, interactive applications.
There are a number of excellent terminal emulator options that exist today. The unique goal of ghostty is to have a platform for experimenting with modern, optional, non-standards-compliant features to enhance the capabilities of CLI applications. We aim to be the best in this category, and competitive in the rest.
While aiming for this ambitious goal, ghostty is a fully standards compliant terminal emulator that aims to remain compatible with all existing shells and software. You can use this as a drop-in replacement for your existing terminal emulator.
Project Status: Pre-Alpha. This project is not ready to be used as a day-to-day terminal emulator. It can't even render vim yet!
Roadmap
The high-level ambitious plan for the project, in order:
| # | Step | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standards-compliant terminal emulation | ❌ |
| 2 | Competitive rendering performance (not the fastest, but fast enough) | ❌ |
| 3 | Basic customizability -- fonts, bg colors, etc. | ❌ |
| 4 | Richer windowing features -- multi-window, tabbing, panes | ❌ |
| 5 | Optimal rendering performance | ❌ |
| N | Fancy features (to be expanded upon later) | ❌ |
