A fast, feature-rich, and platform-native terminal emulator
Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Made by Mitchell Hashimoto.
I want to note that Ghostty is a passion project started by Mitchell Hashimoto. It's something he works on in his free time and is a labor of love. Please don't forget this when interacting with the project. "I'm doing my best to make something great along with the lovely contributors, but it's not a full-time job for any of us." Mitchell wrote on the website.
Very cool name and landing page 👻 Where do I learn Ascii animation? 😆
How does this differ in goals from iTerm ?
