Awrit is a graphical web browser that renders actual Chromium content inside the Kitty terminal using the Kitty graphics protocol, with mouse and keyboard support. It lets users browse the web, view documentation, and preview dev servers without leaving the terminal.

Use cases

  • browse the web inside the kitty terminal
  • view devdocs documentation without leaving the terminal
  • preview vite dev server changes in the terminal
  • run a browser in a tiled terminal layout without a tiling window manager
  • render web UIs alongside terminal tools like neovim

When to choose

  • you use Kitty v0.31+ and want real web rendering in your terminal
  • you want browser windows tiled via Kitty layouts without a window manager
  • you want to view documentation or dev servers alongside terminal workflows

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained, secure browser - the project is unmaintained with known security concerns
  • you don't use the Kitty terminal or a terminal supporting its graphics protocol
  • you need full browser features like extensions or devtools
