# Cute Ghostty
The same Ghostty you love, but cuter.
Cute pastel colours, adorable emojis, kawaii icon — same blazing-fast terminal.
---
## What is this?
Cute Ghostty is [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org) with a cute makeover. It's the exact same terminal emulator under the hood — same GPU-accelerated rendering, same native macOS UI, same features — just with cute pastel colours, a kawaii icon, and adorable aesthetic touches.
[Ghostty](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) is an incredible open-source terminal emulator created by Mitchell Hashimoto. We just made it cuter.
## Download
Grab the latest build: **[CuteGhostty.dmg](https://github.com/amywork777/CuteGhostty/releases/download/v0.2/CuteGhostty.dmg)**
1. Open the DMG and drag **Cute Ghostty.app** to your Applications folder
2. Launch and enjoy!
**Requirements:** macOS 13.0+ • Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel)
## Build It Yourself
Want to build Cute Ghostty from a stock Ghostty install? The build script takes any Ghostty.app and applies the cute customizations:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/amywork777/CuteGhostty.git
cd CuteGhostty
# Pass your Ghostty.app path
./build.sh /Applications/Ghostty.app
# Install it
cp -R "Cute Ghostty.app" /Applications/
```
To also create a distributable zip:
```bash
ZIP=1 ./build.sh /Applications/Ghostty.app
```
## What's Different from Ghostty?
- Custom kawaii app icon (pink Hello Kitty-style ghost)
- Custom bundle identity (`com.amy.cute-ghostty`)
- Custom display name ("Cute Ghostty")
- Custom asset catalog with cute styling
- That's it! Everything else is pure Ghostty
## Repo Structure
```
build.sh # Build script - takes stock Ghostty and makes it cute
assets/
Ghostty.icns # The cute app icon (Apple icon format)
Assets.car # Compiled asset catalog with cute styling
Info.plist # Bundle configuration (ID, name, permissions)
icon-512.png # Icon preview at 512px
icon-1024.png # Icon preview at 1024px
Cute Ghostty.app/ # Pre-built app bundle (ready to use)
```
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Ideas:
- **New icon designs** — alternative cute icons for people to swap in
- **Colour themes** — cute Ghostty config themes (pastel, kawaii, cottagecore, etc.)
- **Build improvements** — CI/CD, notarization support, version bumping
- **Asset tooling** — scripts to generate Assets.car from source images
To customize the icon:
1. Edit `assets/Ghostty.icns` (use an icon editor or `iconutil`)
2. Run `./build.sh /Applications/Ghostty.app`
3. Test your new Cute Ghostty!
