ghostty-theme

Switch Ghostty themes from your terminal — with fuzzy search, favorites, and random mode.

Install

npm install -g ghostty-theme

Requires: Ghostty 1.3.0 or newer installed and available in your PATH.

Usage

ghostty-theme              # Browse favorites interactively
ghostty-theme list         # Same as above
ghostty-theme list --all   # Browse all available themes
ghostty-theme set <name>   # Set theme directly by name
ghostty-theme random       # Random theme from favorites
ghostty-theme random --all # Random theme from all themes
ghostty-theme add <name>   # Add a theme to favorites
ghostty-theme add -c       # Add the current theme to favorites
ghostty-theme remove       # Remove a theme from favorites (interactive)

Interactive Selector

Running ghostty-theme opens a fuzzy-searchable theme picker:

• Type to fuzzy search
• ↑↓ or j/k to navigate
• Enter to apply
• q / Esc to cancel
• Active theme is marked with *

Favorites

Your favorite themes are stored in ~/.config/ghostty-theme-cli/favorites.json. On first run, a curated set of popular dark themes is added automatically:

Cobalt2, TokyoNight, Dracula, Catppuccin Mocha, Nord, Gruvbox Dark, Solarized Dark Higher Contrast, Atom One Dark, Ayu, Kanagawa Dragon, Rose Pine, Everforest Dark Hard

Random Mode

Shuffle through your favorites (or all themes) with a single command:

ghostty-theme random       # Pick from favorites
ghostty-theme random --all # Pick from everything

It always picks a different theme from the one currently set.

How It Works

1. Reads available themes via ghostty +list-themes
2. Updates the theme = ... line in your Ghostty config
3. Reloads Ghostty through AppleScript on Ghostty 1.3.0+

Manual config reload is not required.

You can override the config path with the GHOSTTY_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
