Terminal Widget

Nice new tool from @ttscoff for people that like to tinker:

Unfortunately xOS 26+, so I can’t run it on my iPad, but will try it on Mac and iPhone.

It’s not released yet, but he’s already considering increasing the price… (currently $9.99)

I use https://ghostty.org / GitHub - ghostty-org/ghostty: 👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. · GitHub on macOS and Linux. Not Apple Terminal.
I suspect it works only with Apple Terminal?

It looks like it would still work, based on the docs. The app would use its own terminal instance or library to run the commands. The CLI to update the widget settings you could run from your Ghostty instance.

I also use Ghostty; had no issues related to the terminal.

There was a bug related to the shell though (I use zsh), but Brett is going to fix that.

Thanks for the post @rob . I did raise the price to $19.99, given it’s a universal purchase for both Mac and iOS and when the Watch app is available, it will be included in the single price.

The main binary in the app is also the CLI. As long as you pass flags to it, it behaves as a command line interface, as opposed to the router for the actual url schemes produced. So it will work from any terminal app, you just need to add an alias/function to point to your install of the main app. It offers copy/pastable commands for that.

It’s out now, launched on Product Hunt yesterday to a decent response (#6). Currently #1 in paid developer tools, and #1 in iPhone developer tools. So it’s going well so far :). Getting a lot fewer complaints about pricing than I did with Marked, but I stand by the price I launched Marked 3 at. Probably won’t raise it further as initially planned, though.

And just to be clear, you don’t actually HAVE to use it from Terminal. It has a full AppleScript library, Shortcuts support, and a full URL scheme for integration with other automation tools.
