Ghostty1.4.0

Ghostty puts a command-line interface inside a desktop window, letting you run shells, command-line tools, and terminal-based workflows alongside graphical applications. You can enter commands, inspect their output, and manage text-based programs through its terminal emulator instead of working from a separate console environment. It suits developers, system administrators, and other people whose daily work depends on shell-driven tasks.

GPU acceleration handles terminal rendering and helps the interface remain responsive during interactive work. Its platform-native user interface follows the conventions of the system where it runs, while the project is designed to support use across platforms rather than being tied to one desktop environment. The feature-rich, speed-oriented design accommodates sessions that combine shells, command-line utilities, and terminal applications.

Ken VanDine publishes Ghostty as open-source software in the System Tools category, and the current version is v1.4.0. The Linux build requires snapd and runs on x86_64, also known as amd64, architecture.
