What's New

No More External Dependencies

GhosttyFetch now collects all your system info natively. No need to install fastfetch or any other tools - just build and run. It pulls OS, CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network, and more directly from your system using platform APIs.

Dynamic Animation Scaling

The Ghostty animation now automatically scales to fit your terminal. Whether you're in a tiny split pane or a fullscreen window, the ASCII art stays crisp and properly proportioned. Uses smart upscaling (nearest neighbor) and downscaling (weighted block voting) to look good at any size.

Real-Time Resize

This one's fun - you can drag your terminal window while GhosttyFetch is running and everything reflows instantly. The animation, the system info panel, all of it adapts on the fly. Great for demos, screenshots, or just finding the perfect size.

XDG Config Support

Config and animation files are now searched in standard locations:

• ~/.config/ghosttyfetch/
• ~/.local/share/ghosttyfetch/
• /usr/share/ghosttyfetch/
• Relative to the executable

No more needing to run from a specific directory.

Robustness Improvements

• Clean exit: Ctrl+C now properly restores your terminal state before exiting
• Non-interactive mode: Works in pipes and scripts (skips raw terminal mode, shows one animation cycle)
• Bug fixes: Fixed memory leaks, layout overflow issues, and other edge cases
• Debug builds: Now warn about memory leaks when running in debug mode

Try It Out

git clone https://github.com/BarutSRB/GhosttyFetch.git
cd GhosttyFetch
zig build-exe -O ReleaseFast ghosttyfetch.zig
./ghosttyfetch

That's it - no other dependencies to install.
