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.
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.
ghostty is purposely minimal and provides no multi-window or tabbing support;
it is expected to be used with something like a tiling window manager. Long
term, we want to add support for a richer native GUI experience, especially
for macOS and Windows.
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.
**Project Status:** Pre-Alpha. This project is not ready to be used as a
day-to-day terminal emulator. It can't even render vim yet!
