Latest News
Noctty 1.3.137 released for Windows x64 and ARM64 with updater, configuration, search, and packaging fixes.
Noctty 1.3.136 released with new and fixed functionality in the ongoing Windows terminal release line.
Noctty 1.3.135 released; the release notes document the refreshed noctty.com site, improved release checks, ARM64/Chocolatey documentation, and terminal fixes.
WingHostty was rebranded to Noctty after a Ghostty trademark request; the project retained its independent status and Ghostty-based core.
Products & Services
A native Windows terminal built on Ghostty's terminal core, with tabs, splits, session restoration, a command palette, shell profiles, native settings, and x64/ARM64 distribution. Available through direct downloads, WinGet, Scoop, and Chocolatey.
An open-source multi-signal URL threat analyzer. Users paste a suspicious link and receive eight separate safety checks; the GitHub description also identifies streamed NDJSON results, batch scans, and client-side history.
A cybersecurity glossary of terms and acronyms, with a source and attribution attached to every definition.
A web-based presentation of Unix man pages that makes them readable, linked, and searchable without accounts.
Market Position
This is an individual developer portfolio rather than a company competing as a single product. Noctty positions itself as an independent native Windows alternative for users who want Ghostty's terminal core with Windows-specific tabs, splits, session restore, settings, and packaging; the project explicitly distinguishes itself from Ghostty and says it is not affiliated with it. Scrutinix occupies the multi-signal URL-threat-analysis niche, while the smaller tools compete primarily through focused utility, privacy, no-account access, and open-source/public implementation rather than enterprise sales.
Leadership
Founders
Aman Thanvi
Independent developer and cybersecurity researcher. His public profile identifies a bachelor's degree in computer science with a cybersecurity minor through the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students; his portfolio lists research with MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the University of Maryland/Breakerspace, and NSA-related threat-intelligence work.
Executive Team
Aman Thanvi
Independent developer, project maintainer, and cybersecurity researcher
Builds the portfolio projects and maintains Noctty as its one maintainer; his published work includes MIT Lincoln Laboratory research, University of Maryland/Breakerspace research, and the SocialCipher IEEE paper.
Founding Story
Aman Thanvi presents the work as a personal portfolio of software and cybersecurity research rather than as a separately incorporated company. Noctty is described as a one-maintainer independent project built to provide a native Windows application around Ghostty's terminal core, while the other projects address focused developer, security, and information-access problems.
