COSMIC Terminal is the terminal emulator built for the COSMIC desktop environment. It matches the rest of the COSMIC app stack and keeps the workflow native.

 

It supports per-profile color schemes, split panes, tabs, transparency, ligatures, bidirectional text, grapheme clustering, and GPU rendering. It is built on Alacritty's terminal engine with a custom COSMIC text renderer.

 

This terminal is for those who are familiar with the COSMIC desktop environment and want a fast daily terminal with modern text rendering and clean desktop integration.
