Ghostty now has scrollbars for macOS drawn using native... macOS GUI widgets of course! Available now in tip releases. GTK will follow very shortly. 50% of Ghostty memes now dead.show more

Ghostty on macOS now also has native GUI for... showing progress bars reported by OSC 9;4. This is, as far as I know, the first macOS terminal to support this (will be part of Ghostty 1.2, coming soon. Available now in tip releases). Esc sequence and script in quoted post.show more

Getting closer now. Navigable search results are now in.... The last hard problem is done. I'm now starting the macOS GUI for all of this (GTK will follow).show more

Command palette coming to Ghostty, implemented with native UI... of course. macOS initially but GTK will follow and be part of the same tagged release, since there's already a mostly complete open PR. Almost all keybinding actions available, will be able to customize entries too.show more

Ghostty on macOS now copies multiple formats into the... clipboard. If you paste into rich text apps now, it'll preserve formatting! If you paste plain text, that'll work too. I think Ghostty may be the only macOS terminal other than the built-in to do this. Coming soon to GTK.show more

Ghostty (and libghostty) now fully implement the Kitty clipboard... protocol to allow apps to read/write non-textual data (like images!). Ghostty is the first to implement the full protocol outside Kitty. The biggest program to support this is probably Claude Code. Demo below. This will be part of Ghostty 1.4, available in nightly now. Available in libghostty now.show more

Thanks to a contributor, Ghostty now has a TUI... for seeing all built-in themes plus a live preview of what they look like. Ghostty has over 300 built-in themes!show more

Thanks to an amazing contributor, Ghostty now supports a... beautiful titlebar with tabs in the titlebar. These are still fully native tabs, we surgically modify macOS's view hierarchy to make them look like this, so they retain all the macOS native behaviors you'd expect.show more

The macOS unobtrusive update feature is now shipped to... tip releases (aka. OpenAI Demogate). Demo shows a real update! Beyond visuals, also mproved functionality, e.g. tip updates will now link to a GH compare view between your commit and the latest in lieu of release notes.show more

Ghostty on Linux getting a bunch of improvements. We... now use Adwaita widgets (if available). Demo of Adwaita tabs, tab overview, header, and about dialog below. Mostly the work of awesome contributors. Note: ignore the missing icon, that's something borked about my NixOS configshow more

Even with close confirmation I sometimes close my terminal... and think "OH FUCK NO." Coming soon to Ghostty, you can undo that. 🥰 (Technical details: we keep the terminal running for a configurable time in the background before terminating for real, similar to email undo send). (macOS only for now, AppKit APIs provide a nice undo manager implementation that eases this quite a bit. I still have to do research on GTK for Linux.)show more

When Ghostty detects a password input prompt, it now... changes the cursor to a lock and on macOS enables the secure input API. When the secure input API is enabled, we show a neat, animated icon that explains what's going on when clicked. Another example of native UI wins (imo). Secure Input is the macOS system API that prevents accessibility APIs from reading your keystrokes, so things like screen recording software and so on can't read your passwords. Other terminals on macOS support secure input. I think only iTerm also supports secure input on password detection. So as a disclaimer, I'm not trying to claim this as a huge innovation, I just think our implementation is nice. 😊show more

Cursor position and color uniforms are now available to... custom shaders in Ghostty, enabling cursor animations (and other effects). Video below is a rough demo of something simple. Can't wait to see what the custom shader community does with this. :) Docs:show more

Claude Mobile starts the idea... Ghostty finishes it I... basically use Claude Mobile as a notepad now. Whenever something comes to mind, I open the app, pick a repo, and ask Claude to start exploring. Then I just let it run while I go on with my day. Later I jump into Claude Desktop and I’m right back in the same session, with context, structure, and a clearer shape of the idea. I tweak a few things to set up the coding phase. Finally, one click to Ghostty (video), open a couple of worktrees, and start working on the PR. IMPORTANT: when you move to Ghostty, it must be the exact same repo you started on mobile, otherwise the --teleport command will failshow more

i'm writing my own gui framework in c++ and... rewriting my image editor using it, which is going good so far, i wanted to move from swiftui, qt, tauri, electron, react native, and flutter so i can use metal and directx gpu apis on macos and windows as much as possible,so i think going full metal/directx is the way to go i know i have a very hard and long way to go though as there are many many flaws,bugs in this very very early version and doesnt utilize the gpu as much as i want to but i hope we will get there soon ,i also need to make the ui look somewhat decent instead of whatever mess it is right nowshow more
