Hi!
I’m a big fan of Ghostty on my desktop machines, and Ghosteel is the closest I could get to taking it with me on a phone. (To be clear: this isn’t affiliated with the Ghostty project. I built this app on top of their VT engine.)
I’ve been developing on borrowed hardware and the emulator (Jolla Phone 2026 on order, and I’m very much looking forward to it). After an initial release on OpenRepos I got great feedback from users there and was able to squash some bugs. It’s now available on Chum, which is why I’m posting here.
Because Ghosteel uses Ghostty’s VT engine instead of the legacy parsers, modern TUI apps (tmux, neovim, htop, btop, lazygit) render correctly, with truecolor and GPU rendering.
Install via Chum (search “Ghosteel”), OpenRepos, or manually install the RPM from Github Releases
