ghostty is a cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that aims to 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 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 modern, opt-in features that enable CLI tool developers to build more feature
primitives (layouts, panels, tables, etc.). 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. We aim to be the best in this category, and competitive
in the rest.
