What is new in Slothy Terminal right now

GPU-Accelerated Terminal

Powered by libghostty with Metal rendering. The same terminal engine behind the Ghostty terminal app, with full IME support and native Ghostty config file compatibility.

Workspace-Aware Navigation

Group tabs by project root, switch between workspaces without losing running sessions, and keep the tab bar scoped to the project you are actively working on.

Native Chat + CLI Tabs

Use Claude and OpenCode in native chat tabs or classic CLI tabs in the same window. Jump between modes without breaking flow.

Automation Sidebar

Scan the project root and scripts/ folder for Python and shell scripts, then insert relative paths straight into the active terminal.

Production Chat Engine

State-machine architecture with transport and storage layers. Session snapshots persist conversations, usage data, and model selection for instant recovery across restarts.

Prompts, Docs, and Activity Signals

Paste saved prompts from the sidebar, keep project docs like README.md and CLAUDE.md close at hand, and spot unseen terminal output with activity badges on inactive tabs.

Built-in Git Client

Browse repository history with a visual revision graph, view author stats and activity heatmaps, and inspect commit details without leaving the terminal window.
