# Floating Terminals > Run up to 5 floating terminal panels in Empryo, powered by Ghostty's GPU-accelerated emulator. Watch logs and REPLs alongside chat, persisting across context ## Overview Empryo includes floating terminal panels powered by Ghostty's terminal emulator. Run commands, watch logs, or interact with REPLs - all without leaving the chat. Up to 5 terminals can run simultaneously. ## Commands | Command | Action | |---------|--------| | `/terminals` | Open the terminal manager | | `/terminals new` | Spawn a new terminal | | `/terminals close` | Close a terminal | | `/terminals show` | Show the terminal panel | | `/terminals hide` | Hide the terminal panel | | `/terminals rename` | Rename a terminal | ## How it works The floating terminal uses [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/)'s Zig-based terminal emulator compiled to a native library. This gives you: - Full ANSI/VT100 support - GPU-accelerated rendering (via the native lib) - Mouse support - 256-color and true-color - Proper Unicode and emoji rendering The terminal state is managed independently from the chat - agent tool calls (`shell`) don't interfere with your terminal sessions. ## Limits - **Maximum 5 terminals** can be open at once - Terminals persist across compaction and context resets - Each terminal runs as an independent PTY session ## Platform notes The Ghostty native library (`.dylib` on macOS, `.so` on Linux) is included in the standalone bundle. If it's missing, Empryo starts normally - floating terminals are simply unavailable.
