About

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](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostling) for a minimal complete project example or the [`examples` directory](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/tree/main/example) for smaller examples of using `libghostty` in C and Zig.

For more details, see [About Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/docs/about).
