Every time you open Ghostty, it greets you with whatever you put there. Big ASCII art, gradients, an optional border with ornaments, your system info. Pick a theme or build your own in the TUI, save, open a new window. That's it.

Does it make you faster? No. Does your terminal look cooler than everyone else's? Yes.

No hand-editing config files either. welchost manages its own files, injects one guarded line into your .zshrc, backs everything up before it touches it, and never goes near Ghostty's own config. Changed your mind? welchost reset wipes all of it.

welchost TUI demo — run welchost, scroll the themes, tweak in the wizard, save, open a new Ghostty window, and the banner appears

install

using brew:

brew install scoobynko/welchost/welchost

or using pipx:

pipx install welchost

usage

welchost          # open the TUI: pick a theme or build your own
welchost preview  # render the current banner
welchost reset    # remove everything welchost added

Run it, pick a template or go custom in the wizard, save, open a new Ghostty window. Re-run any time to change it.

safe by default

Three files in ~/.config/ghostty/ and one guarded line in your .zshrc, nothing else. Every edit backed up first. Telemetry is opt-in, off unless you say yes.
