Ghostty Studio v0.4 adds a private local background library and makes edits source-aware across Ghostty's configuration layers.

What's new

  • Import multiple PNG or JPEG backgrounds into a private local library.
  • Switch images manually or randomly, with controls for visibility, fit, position, tiling, and live preview.
  • See which configuration file supplies the effective value when Ghostty includes or resets other files.
  • Move an overridden draft to the source that actually wins, without saving it first.
  • Edit 31 reviewed Ghostty 1.3.1 settings on macOS.
  • A new independent ghost identity across the app, installer, sidebar, and favicon.

Safer by design

  • Imported images are decoded, bounded, normalized, and stripped of metadata.
  • Original and managed image paths stay out of the WebView, reviews, and diffs.
  • Saved scalar values are checked against Ghostty's final effective configuration, with rollback on mismatches or source changes.
  • Managed images cannot be removed while any live configuration layer may still use them.
  • Source-dependent behavior stays disabled on Ghostty versions that have not passed the same compatibility audit.

Download

Download Ghostty-Studio-v0.4.0-macos-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Ghostty Studio to Applications.

  • Apple Silicon
  • macOS 11 or later
  • Tested writable contract: Ghostty 1.3.1
  • SHA-256 checksum included in SHA256SUMS.txt

This remains an early preview. The app is ad-hoc signed rather than Developer ID signed or notarized, so macOS may ask you to confirm the first launch.
