F1 global hotkey
Drop down from any app with one key. Press again to hide. Alt+Enter toggles monitor fullscreen.
A Quake-style drop-down terminal for Windows.
ghostty VT core, Direct3D 11 ClearType rendering, bundled OpenConsole ConPTY.
Built around the things a drop-down terminal has to get right.
Drop down from any app with one key. Press again to hide. Alt+Enter toggles monitor fullscreen.
Ctrl+Shift+T to open, Alt+1–9 to switch, drag to reorder, double-click the tab to rename.
DirectWrite glyph atlas + HLSL dual-source blending. Subpixel anti-aliasing that actually survives.
Ships Microsoft's ConPTY runtime so conhost is out of the path. Bulk output throughput more than doubles.
Drops onto whichever monitor the cursor is on. Reacts instantly to resolution, DPI, and taskbar changes.
Correct wide-character rendering out of the box. Font fallback chain up to 8 deep — no tofu.
Ghostty, Windows Terminal, Dracula, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night and more. COLORFGBG is set automatically so vim picks the right scheme.
Docks to any screen edge (top/bottom/left/right). Size and offset are specified as percentages of the monitor.
Drag to select, release to copy. Double-click for word, middle-click to paste.
Unzip anywhere. Keep tildaz.exe, conpty.dll, and OpenConsole.exe together — the bundled ConPTY runtime only activates when all three sit in the same folder.
First launch writes %APPDATA%\tildaz\config.json with defaults. Shell, theme, font, and drop-down geometry live there.
tildaz.exe is not yet Authenticode-signed.
Some endpoint security products (SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, etc.) flag unsigned ConPTY-spawning binaries by behavior alone.
Code signing via the SignPath Foundation OSS program is in progress. Details →
