Terminal
Alacritty
Alacritty is a fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults. It’s written with Zig and it’s pretty fast.
The missing feature (for me, as of today 2025-08-09) is window split, but it’s totally fine.
Ghostty
Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. It’s written in Zig and it’s very fast.
The missing feature (for me, as of today 2025-08-09) is the lack of a built-in fine or search function. There is an open issue .
