Kernel
A fast, GPU-accelerated Windows terminal
Kernel is KVRNL's own terminal — the studio's namesake. It runs real Windows shells over ConPTY (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Git Bash, WSL) with GPU-accelerated rendering, clickable links, search, and a clean, configurable look. Bash always works, even on a fresh machine, thanks to a bundled Bash environment.
It's also built for AI-assisted work: when you have Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini installed, Kernel offers them as one-click profiles and renders their full-screen interfaces perfectly. Right-click any folder to “Open Kernel here.” Themes, fonts, cursor, and opacity are all yours to tune. Free to use; claim your license key and download it straight from this page.
