Built on Ghostty's terminal engine via libghostty.

make setup # builds GhosttyKit, copies headers and resources
make build # debug build
make release # release build, installs to /Applicationsmake setup builds the GhosttyKit framework from the bundled Ghostty source, caches it by commit SHA, symlinks it into the Xcode project, and copies terminfo and shell-integration resources.
The canvas is infinite. Pan with the trackpad or scroll wheel, zoom with pinch gestures. Double-click empty space to zoom to fit all terminals.
Scroll direction is detected automatically: horizontal scrolling pans the canvas, vertical scrolling goes to the terminal under the cursor. Hold Ctrl to force canvas panning.
