## 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.
Ghostty is an innovative terminal emulator with very ambitious goals.
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.
- ✅ performance competitive with the fastest GPU-accelerated terminals
- ✅ highly customizable: variable fonts, background blurring, cursor opacity, window themes
- ✅ feature-rich: splits, shell integration, emojis, Kitty graphics protocol support, and more
- ✅ cross-platform with native UI on macOS and Linux (and Windows is on the roadmap)
- 🚧 introduce cutting-edge, opt-in terminal capabilities that CLIs can utilize
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.
On the last goal, there are many excellent terminal emulators that exist today, but Ghostty is
unique in this. By exposing new [terminal capabilities that CLIs can leverage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#CSIsection)]
for richer interactivity, Ghostty can push the boundaries of what is possible with a terminal emulator.
**Project Status:** Beta. Ghostty implements most of the baseline features
you'd expect for a terminal you can work in every day. We're still missing
things, but I've been using it full time since April 2022.
