A terminal that gets
out of your way.
Native macOS. Keyboard-first. Built on Ghostty.
And it quietly keeps an eye on your agents.
Free · macOS 26+ · Auto-updates
Zentty is the terminal you forget is there. No chrome fighting for attention, no modal dialogs, no friction between you and the shell. Just panes, keystrokes, and your work.
Works with the agents
you already use.
Launch one in any pane and Zentty sees it — no setup, no config, no plugin to install. Status, questions, and attention requests surface in a quiet sidebar. System notifications nudge you when you've looked away.

Everything you'd expect.
Nothing you wouldn't.
-
Worklanes, not tabs
Borrowed from niri and Hyprland: a horizontally-scrolling strip of columns, each column a vertical stack of panes. Rearrange, resize, and navigate without losing your place.
-
Keyboard-first
Every action is a command. Every command is bindable. And when muscle memory fails, a fuzzy-searchable command palette puts every action one keystroke away.
-
Agent-aware
See what Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, and OpenCode are doing, without switching panes. System notifications nudge you when you've looked away.
-
Plays with your workflow
Reads the git state of every pane and jumps straight to the PR on GitHub. Opens any working directory in your editor, Finder, or any app you choose — one keystroke away.
-
Support for your themes
Make it personal with your own themes. Reads your Ghostty themes from ~/.config/ghostty/themes. Automatic uses light and dark based on the selected theme.
-
Built on Ghostty
GPU-accelerated rendering via libghostty, wrapped in a native Swift and AppKit shell. No Electron, no web views. It feels like a Mac app because it is one.
Actively developed. Rapid iteration. Occasional rough edges. Worth it.
