Ghostty is an [[MIT License]] licensed terminal emulator written in [[Zig]]. - [Website](https://ghostty.org/) - [Source](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) - [Documentation](https://ghostty.org/docs) - AlternativeTo > Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. # Notability ## Issues - Seems to misbehave with [[tmux - Terminal Multiplexer]] for some reason? - Much slower to start than [[Wezterm]]. - A month later ([[2025-03-05]]) I built it again with the recommended optimization and it seems much faster and Tmux seems fine, even with my complicated setup. # Philosophy Created by the founder of [[Hashicorp]] and creator of [[Terraform (software)]]. # Platform Support # Features - Hits ~550 fps on my machine with the DOOM Fire test, which is around ~50 fps more than [[Wezterm]] (also an improvement that is probably unnoticeable to the bare eye) # Tips # References
