A simple native macOS terminal built with Swift and libghostty. Minimal be design - suited for everyday use, just not packed with the bells and whistles power users expect.
Love that you went native with Swift instead of wrapping something electron-based. That kind of focus on simplicity and performance over feature bloat is exactly what most people actually need day-to-day.
There's something genuinely calming about a tool that decides to stay small and fast on purpose. Filip, this feels like the kind of thing I'd quietly stop noticing and just keep reaching for every day.
Why should I switch from Ghostty? I can see graphical preferences, but what's the major differentiator?
Native macOS apps built with libghostty are exactly what I've been hoping someone would ship. One thing that would make me switch from iTerm2 full time: support for per-pane scrollback buffers with the ability to detach a pane into its own window. Would be great for keeping long-running logs handy while working in another session.
Thanks for sharing. What would you say are the "selling points" of this terminal emulator?
Love seeing more native macOS dev tools built with Swift! Terminal performance makes or breaks the daily workflow.
