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.

Claude CLI + OpenCode CLI Tabs

Run Claude CLI, OpenCode CLI, and plain shell sessions side-by-side in the same window — each one a real PTY rendered by libghostty. Switch between tabs with Cmd+1–9 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.

Built-in File Editor

Double-click any file in the Files sidebar to open it in a real editor tab — STTextView with tree-sitter syntax highlighting for Swift and Markdown. Dirty-state indicator in the tab, save-confirmation toast, Cmd+S / Save As / Revert from the File menu. No leaving the window to fix a typo.

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.
