What is Ghostty?
Ghostty is a terminal emulator written in Zig that pairs platform-native interfaces with GPU-accelerated rendering. It is fast under heavy output, supports modern terminal features like ligatures and true color, and feels like a real native app on macOS and Linux rather than an Electron wrapper.
Pros
- GPU-accelerated rendering keeps scrolling and output extremely fast
- Platform-native UI instead of a web wrapper
- Huge community and rapid development pace
Cons
- No Windows support yet
- Configuration is text-file based, no settings UI
Who should use Ghostty
Developers and power users who live in the terminal and want speed without giving up native feel.
Who may not need it
Casual users who rarely open a terminal.
