Rio is a hardware-accelerated GPU terminal emulator built with Rust and WebGPU. It is designed to run across desktops and browser-oriented environments while keeping performance and usability at the center of the experience. The project supports modern terminal expectations such as 24-bit true color, tabs, split panes, font ligatures, and terminal graphics. Rio can display images through protocols such as Kitty, iTerm2, and Sixel, which makes it more capable for visual terminal workflows. It is cross-platform, with support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD. Its main value is offering a modern, GPU-powered terminal that combines speed, visual polish, and broad platform reach.
