Terminal Browser is a graphical Chromium-based web browser that runs inside an existing terminal session. It renders browser pixels through terminals that support the Kitty graphics protocol, including Ghostty, Kitty, cmux, and compatible VS Code environments. Electron’s offscreen rendering API captures Chromium output directly from the GPU for smooth display. Mouse, keyboard, scrolling, and trackpad input are translated into browser events, with a background Swift component handling signals the terminal cannot expose. A Rust graphics engine draws the browser shell, while React and TypeScript define its interface through a custom renderer. The CLI can open URLs, create split panes, list browser instances, and expose agent-compatible actions. It is designed for coding agents, remote SSH previews, and terminal-centered web development workflows.
