Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.
libghostty is a cross-platform, zero-dependency C and Zig library for building terminal emulators or utilizing terminal functionality (such as style parsing). Anyone can use libghostty to build a terminal emulator or embed a terminal into their own applications. See Ghostling for a minimal complete project example or the examples directory for smaller examples of using libghostty in C and Zig.
