Ghosteel brings a modern terminal engine to SailfishOS. Most mobile terminals use legacy VT parsers that struggle with complex TUI apps. Ghosteel uses the same engine that powers Ghostty, giving you accurate rendering for tmux, neovim, htop, and other TUI applications.

  • Ghostty VT engine with full escape sequence support, 24-bit truecolor, alternate screen buffer
  • GPU rendering via OpenGL ES 2.0/3.0 with cursor trail shaders
  • Multi-session support with named sessions, switching, and persistence
  • Touch text selection with Sailfish-style magnifier and double/triple tap
  • Configurable extra keys bar with sticky Ctrl/Alt modifiers, arrow keys, F1-F12, PgUp/PgDn
  • Automatic URL detection and hyperlinks, tap to open in browser
  • Inline images via Kitty Graphics Protocol with PNG decoding
  • Encrypted scrollback using AES-256 via Sailfish Secrets (configurable 7-365 day retention)
  • Dark and Light color schemes with adjustable opacity
