Muxy, a Mac terminal built around libghostty

A nice Mac find: Muxy is not trying to beat Ghostty on the terminal engine itself. It builds on libghostty and spends its energy where it matters more: the native UX around it.

The New Worktree screen does more than surface Git data: it can create the branch, create the worktree, and run repository setup commands through .muxy/worktree.json.

What made me stop on it is the native git worktree support. The screenshot shared by the project shows worktree creation from an existing branch or a new one, plus setup commands at the repository level. If you regularly keep several branches open at once, that is not a cute extra. That is the kind of feature that saves time every day.

The rest follows the same logic: project-based organization, persistent workspace, in-terminal search, configurable shortcuts, Ghostty themes, and basic Git integration. Muxy is not rewriting a terminal from scratch. It is trying to make the day-to-day flow around it smoother. For a Mac terminal, that is probably the smarter bet.
