About:
Rio is a modern, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator built with Rust and powered by WebGPU for rendering. It delivers ultra-low latency and high-performance text rendering, making it ideal for demanding workflows. The terminal supports advanced features like split panes, tabs, and extensive customization through a TOML configuration file.
Key Features:
  • GPU-accelerated rendering via WebGPU for high performance
  • Sixel and iTerm2 image protocol support
  • Split panes and tabs for multi-tasking
  • Rich configuration via a simple TOML file
  • Cross-platform (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Use Cases:
  • Daily driver for developers and power users needing a fast terminal
  • Running resource-intensive CLI tools and TUI applications
  • Managing multiple sessions and processes in split panes
Alternatives:
  • alacritty – Similar focus on performance, but Alacritty uses OpenGL while Rio uses WebGPU
  • kitty – Kitty offers more built-in features, whereas Rio focuses on a minimal, modern codebase
