QuickTTY 0.1.0-alpha.2

First public alpha of QuickTTY, a native terminal for macOS built with Swift, AppKit, and embedded Ghostty.

Highlights

• Normal and drop-down Quake presentation modes without restarting shell processes
• Tabs, recursive split panes, pane navigation, and named workspaces
• Broadcast input within the active tab
• Workspace, tab, split layout, CWD, and window-frame persistence
• Text configuration with hot reload, an in-terminal config editor, and inline diagnostics
• Bundled Ghostty terminfo, shell integration, themes, and third-party notices
• Native Apple Silicon build with a new QuickTTY application icon

Requirements

• macOS 15 or later
• Apple Silicon (arm64) only

Installation

1. Download QuickTTY-0.1.0-alpha.2-arm64.dmg.
2. Open the DMG and copy QuickTTY to Applications.
3. Launch QuickTTY normally. The DMG is signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, and has a stapled ticket.

QuickTTY starts with its own clean configuration and state:

• ~/.config/quicktty/config
• ~/Library/Application Support/QuickTTY/state.json

No data is migrated from earlier GhostTerm development builds.

Known limitations

• This is an alpha release and currently supports only Apple Silicon.
• Restored panes start fresh shells; saved custom commands are not executed automatically.
• Application shortcuts are not yet fully configurable.
• The app is distributed outside the Mac App Store and is not sandboxed.
