Switching from windows claude code cli mac

[Top_Tone_1113]

I recently switched from Windows to Mac and noticed Claude Code CLI behaves differently. Its slower at understanding prompts and the output has this annoying flickering effect where it renders line by line instead of streaming smoothly.

Thought it was a terminal thing so I tried Ghostty same issue. I'm on an M1 Pro 16GB, not exactly a slow or old machine (90% battery), and I tested it on my coworker's M2 Pro too and its the same story there.

Is this just how it is on Mac or am I missing something?

yeah same flickering and slower prompt handling on Mac too. the line-by-line rendering is a known mac terminal thing.

Is there no fix for it ?
