About
Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, native terminal emulator that refuses to trade speed for features or a native UI. It ships as a GUI app and as libghostty, a cross-platform, embeddable terminal library.
Why it made the leaderboard
Ghostty represents a genuine advancement in terminal emulator design by solving the classic trilemma of speed vs features vs native UI. The embeddable libghostty library adds significant differentiation, allowing developers to embed terminal functionality into their own applications. With 53k GitHub stars and documented use by millions, it has proven market validation while pushing the category forward.
