Veil Terminal 0.1.0

Veil Terminal 0.1.0

First downloadable Apple Silicon release of Veil, a minimal macOS terminal with real PTYs and interactive login shells.

Install

Download Veil-0.1.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Veil Terminal onto Applications. Eject the DMG before launching the installed app.

Homebrew installation is available through the project's personal tap:

brew install --cask roxvihaan/tap/veil

Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) only. Targets macOS 12+, tested on macOS 26.5.1. Intel is not included.

Security note: this build is ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized. macOS may block the first launch. If you trust the source, consult Apple's per-app approval instructions. No installer or cask step disables Gatekeeper or removes quarantine. This is a personal Homebrew tap, not the main Homebrew catalog.

Included

• Clear transparency or Liquid transparency with native behind-window blur.
• Live veil bg color, veil text, opacity controls, typography presets and defaults (including the deafault alias).
• Tabs and split panes that preserve their terminal buffers, scrollback and running shells.
• Login shells with Finder-safe PATH setup for installed tools such as Homebrew and Codex.
• Folder/file opening through macOS and veil:// URLs; files open in Vim.
• True-color ASCII images, native .icns decoding, and GIF animation in the invoking pane.
• Optional persistent custom Neofetch image wrapper (separate installation; see README).
• Low-latency PTY batching, full-height terminal fitting and regression coverage for splits and fonts.

The DMG includes third-party license notices inside the app. The companion .sha256 file can be checked with shasum -a 256 -c Veil-0.1.0-arm64.dmg.sha256 from the download directory.

Save your work and quit Veil before replacing an older app. Your config is retained. See the README for the full feature and installation guide.
