    Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

  • Still slower than alacritty according to https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/

    Also not really cross-platform, contrary to what's indicated in the first word of its github description, and the owner is kind of an ass about it https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/6481.

  • Tabby

    A terminal for a more modern age

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
