Overview
What Scull does.
Scull is a terminal emulator with a Rust core and a native interface on each platform: SwiftUI on macOS, WinUI on Windows. The core parses, keeps state and encodes input; the platform draws text with its own text stack and handles windows, input methods and accessibility.
Scull is an early scaffold: an empty Cargo workspace that just check builds, lints and tests.
The research behind it studies how kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, foot, Contour and Warp work, and
what Scull takes from each.
Features
Built for real workflows.
-
A Rust core
Parsing, terminal state and input encoding live in one core shared by every platform.
-
Native text on each platform
The platform draws text with its own text stack instead of a custom renderer.
-
Native windows and input
Windows, input methods and accessibility come from SwiftUI on macOS and WinUI on Windows.
-
Research first
The design takes from kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, foot, Contour and Warp, with the reasoning written down in the repository.
