history

Project history and usage

Rio is an open-source, cross-platform, hardware-accelerated terminal emulator written in Rust.

Project history

Raphael Amorim began Rio as an open-source hardware-accelerated terminal emulator written in Rust. Early releases concentrated on macOS; version 0.0.5 in May 2023 documented Linux support and moved configuration into the XDG-style .config directory. Development subsequently expanded platform support and terminal features.

Adoption history

Rio has attracted terminal users interested in modern GPU rendering, Rust implementation, and cross-platform behavior. Official builds and package-manager distribution make it straightforward to compare with other contemporary terminal emulators.

How it is used

Users run shells and command-line applications in Rio and configure its fonts, colors, renderer, shell, navigation, key bindings, and window behavior with TOML. It is a terminal emulator rather than a shell or multiplexer.

Why package nerds care

Rio belongs to the newer generation of Rust-based, hardware-accelerated terminals. Its explicit rendering backend choices, TOML configuration, live configuration reloads, and portability make it relevant to users who closely compare terminal performance and graphics stacks.

Timeline

  • 2022: Rio's public source repository began development.
  • 2023: Release 0.0.5 added documented Linux builds, themes, and the current XDG-style configuration location.
  • 2023–2026: Frequent releases expanded rendering, platform, and terminal compatibility.

Related projects

  • Rio is commonly considered alongside Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm, and Ghostty. It can be used with shells and terminal multiplexers such as tmux or Zellij but is a separate project.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for rio. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • No Homebrew bottle metadata was recorded.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
