Security Audit
Warn
Health Warn
  • License — License: GPL-3.0
  • Description — Repository has a description
  • Active repo — Last push 0 days ago
  • Low visibility — Only 5 GitHub stars
Code Warn
  • process.env — Environment variable access in ZenttyResources/opencode/plugins/zentty-opencode-zentty.js
Permissions Pass
  • Permissions — No dangerous permissions requested
Purpose
This project is a native macOS terminal application designed specifically for agent-native development. It is built on top of the Ghostty terminal emulator and provides a specialized UI for managing AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI.

Security Assessment
Risk Rating: Low. The tool does not request dangerous system permissions. A scanner warning flagged environment variable access in an included OpenCode plugin (`zentty-opencode-zentty.js`), which is standard behavior for CLI integration tools and not inherently malicious. There are no hardcoded secrets in the codebase. Since this is a desktop application, it runs locally with your standard user privileges. Additionally, the releases are officially signed and notarized by Zenjoy BV, providing a strong layer of supply chain security against tampering.

Quality Assessment
The project is very new and in active development, with its most recent code push happening today. It is properly licensed under GPL-3.0. However, community trust and visibility are currently extremely low, as the repository has only 5 GitHub stars. Developers should expect rough edges and occasional breaking changes as the project matures.

Verdict
Use with caution — the app is securely signed and poses low security risks, but it is still a very early-stage project with minimal community validation.

Features

  • Worklanes, not just tabs. Borrowed from niri and Hyprland: a horizontally-scrolling strip of columns, each column a vertical stack of panes. Rearrange, resize, and navigate without losing your place.
  • Keyboard-first, top to bottom. Every action is a command. Every command is bindable. Rebind anything in settings, or fall back to the command palette when your muscle memory runs out.
  • Command palette. A fuzzy-searchable list of every action in the app, with your recent commands on top.
  • Agent-aware. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode report their status into the sidebar, so you see what they're doing, what they're asking, and when they need you, without switching panes.
  • Native Ghostty themes. Zentty reads Ghostty's own theme files (your ~/.config/ghostty/themes and the bundled library), with automatic light/dark switching.
  • Built on Ghostty. GPU-accelerated rendering via libghostty, wrapped in a native Swift and AppKit shell. No Electron, no web views. It feels like a Mac app because it is one.

Install

Download the latest .dmg from the releases page, open it, and drag Zentty to your Applications folder.

Zentty updates itself in place via Sparkle once installed. No need to check back here for new versions.

Builds are signed and notarized by Zenjoy BV. Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later.

Status

Zentty is in active development. Expect rapid iteration, rough edges, and occasional breaking changes while the project is opened up.

Requirements

  • macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later
  • Xcode
  • zig on PATH
  • gettext on PATH

Build

Zentty requires a local GhosttyKit.xcframework before the app can build normally.

Build the framework:

./scripts/build_ghosttykit.sh

Then build the app:

xcodebuild -project Zentty.xcodeproj -scheme Zentty -destination 'platform=macOS' build

If you need to regenerate the Xcode project from project.yml:

bundle exec fastlane mac generate_project

More detail about the Ghostty bootstrap flow lives in docs/ghosttykit-setup.md.

Test

Run the full test suite:

xcodebuild test -scheme Zentty -destination 'platform=macOS'

Agent Hooks

Zentty bundles helper commands and environment variables for agent-aware workflows inside terminal panes.

Hook configuration details are documented in docs/agent-hooks.md.
