Alacritty
FreeA GPU-rendered minimal terminal that deliberately omits tabs
An Apache-2.0 cross-platform terminal with 65,406 stars, written in Rust with GPU rendering and configured through a TOML file. It deliberately omits tabs and splits, leaving those to tmux — which reads as clean to some people and as missing features to others.
Why we picked it
Alacritty's position is unambiguous: do one thing as fast as possible and delegate the rest. 65,406 stars, Apache-2.0, written in Rust with GPU rendering.
It has no tabs and no splits, and the project's stance is that those belong to tmux. If you already live in tmux this feels clean; if you do not, the first reaction is usually "it does not even have tabs?"
Configuration is a TOML file with no GUI. If you want to click through settings, see Tabby.
