macOS Notes
- Download
Ghostty.dmgfor everyday use. Every other build is for debugging. - The builds are all universal binaries that work on both Apple Silicon and Intel.
- The
-debug-slowbuild has safety checks and symbols to make debugging sometimes easier. - The
-debug-fastbuild disables the slowest safety checks so that the debug build is more usable but is still around 15x slower than the release builds. This is meant for use when a debug build is too slow to reproduce an issue.
WebAssembly (Wasm)
ghostty-vt.wasmis recommended. It is the fastest, most optimized build.ghostty-vt-small.wasmis optimized for size over speed, and is 10-20% slower thanghostty-vt.wasm- All wasm builds assume the
simd128feature being available. This is widely supported in browsers and runtimes.
