Overview
Ghostty is a cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. It is also available as libghostty, a library for building terminal emulators or embedding a terminal in your own app.
What it does well
Ghostty is built to avoid the usual trade-off between speed, features and a native interface: it renders on the GPU, uses native UI on each platform, and runs every mainstream terminal program. libghostty is a zero-dependency C and Zig library that other apps can embed.
Why it’s in the collection
Ghostty feels like a native app on your Mac or Linux desktop while staying fast, and it is used daily by millions of people. It is MIT-licensed and developed in the open.
