Ghostty Developer Mitchell Hashimoto Launches New Company Superlogical
Superlogical targets the fragmentation of development tools across local, remote, and automated environments, a problem Hashimoto says has existed for decades but is now more costly with AI agents in the mix.

Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder of HashiCorp and developer of the Ghostty terminal emulator, has announced a new company called Superlogical. The company will start by building a terminal multiplexer that maintains and shares work across multiple terminals over long periods. Its long-term goal is to create a foundation integrating software tasks performed by humans and AI agents.
Hashimoto left HashiCorp in 2023 after 11 years in management. Since then he has focused on parenting, charity, and technical writing, while devoting himself to Ghostty, a fast, cross-platform terminal emulator that started as a personal project and now serves millions of daily users with about 12 core maintainers and roughly 50 translators and community moderators.
Hashimoto has no plans to commercialize Ghostty. In 2025 he donated the project to a nonprofit certified by the U.S. federal government, and he says its mission, governance, licensing, technical goals, and roadmap will not change with Superlogical's founding. He has also signaled a policy to reduce Ghostty's dependence on GitHub, citing concerns about entrusting project operations to for-profit services.
Superlogical argues that development work now runs in parallel across local PCs, remote servers, sandboxes, and production, executed by humans, CI, background processes, and multiple AI agents. The tools handling these tasks remain fragmented. The company sees a missing piece: a persistent session centered on individual work, maintained across applications and execution environments.
