On Linux, terminal apps are just... apps. They get their own windows, their own Alt+Tab entries, their own launcher icons. On macOS, they're second-class citizens—buried in terminal tabs, invisible to Cmd+Tab, forgotten by Spotlight. appify fixes that. Generate native .app bundles from any TUI. Your btop becomes a proper System Monitor. Your weechat gets its own Dock icon. GPU-accelerated rendering via an embedded Ghostty terminal engine—no existing Ghostty installation required. Features - Zero Dependencies : Single binary. Generated apps embed their own terminal engine—no Ghostty installation required. - Native Experience : Real macOS applications (Swift + GhosttyKit), not shell script wrappers. - GPU Accelerated : Ghostty's Metal-based renderer under the hood. - Customizable : Custom names, bundle IDs, and icons (.icns or .png).
