You might replace your current terminal after trying this.
Kaku is out. A Valentine’s gift for terminal nerds.
I started this while building Pake. I wanted a terminal that feels truly fast on macOS. That feeling got stronger during Mole. I tried everything: Alacritty is snappy but has no tabs. Ghostty’s font rendering never matched my taste. Warp requires a login. Kitty is powerful, but window management kept biting me.
Then I found WezTerm. It’s Rust-based and hackable, so I went in: removed a lot of legacy/compat modules, tightened the loading path, tuned macOS rendering, and baked in the small things I use every day.
The goal is simple: Alacritty-like speed with native tabs and splits. Built for AI coding. One pane for Claude Code, one for review, git diff at the bottom. Stay in flow.
A friend complained about terminals over dinner. I said “try mine.” I packaged it up and named it Kaku, Japanese, quick to say: Kaku Kaku Kaku Kaku.
It’s not fully mature yet, but I’ve daily-driven it for 6 months. No config needed. Try the shortcuts. File bugs when you find them.
