## 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 for running applications such as first-class TUI -primitives (layouts, panels, tables, etc.). +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. ghostty isn't trying to claim to be the best in every category +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.

Long term, we want to add support for a richer native GUI experience, especially for macOS and Windows. -There are a number of excellent terminal emulator options that exist -today. ghostty isn't trying to claim to be the best in every category -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.
