About Alacritty
Alacritty is a terminal emulator for running shells and text interfaces. Its restrained interface puts terminal content first, with behavior configured through a text file.
It works well alongside a terminal multiplexer when you need elaborate session layouts. The macOS release is a standalone desktop app.
