Aster 0.4.1
First public release of Aster — a native macOS terminal workspace built in pure AppKit, powered by the Ghostty terminal engine.
Highlights
- Terminal workspace: tabs (vertical sidebar / top / bottom layouts), recursive splits, file browser, editor and rich previews in one window
- Ghostty engine: production PTY, VT state and Metal rendering via an internal libghostty build
- 24 built-in themes with light/dark pairing, live preview and per-color overrides (Otty
.ottythemecompatible) - Agent integration: Claude Code & friends — session titles, prompt queue, history by project, Send to Chat with secret masking
- Session Memory: cross-agent project memory with retrieval gating and retention policies
- Workflows & Recipes: reusable workspace layouts with strict security boundaries (external commands never auto-run)
- Shell integration (OSC 133/7), autocomplete, link/target detection, CLI & IPC, multi-window with per-window persistence
