Kitty terminal

Super fast, GPU and OpenGL based terminal emulator with tiling support Created by Kovid Goyal

Free Open Source
Mac
Linux

Kitty ( not to be confused with KiTTY ) is a powerful, cross-platform GPU-based terminal emulator. It offloads rendering to the GPU and uses OpenGL for fast, cross-platform performance with built-in tiling layouts as well as graphic, unicode and font ligature support.

FEATURES

- Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color, OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and more.
- Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts, no need for tmux .
- Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH.
- Extensible via Kittens framework for creating small terminal apps.
- Supports startup sessions to let you set layout, working directories and apps to run at startup.
- Cross-platform: works on Linux and macOS and trivially portable to other Unix-like platforms.
- Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary apps.... More Info »
