blaeckfetch is a fast, minimalist system fetch for your terminal. It’s powered by blaeck for rendering.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Splash mode – animated boot sequence with border entrance, background image, blinking footer, and collapse exit. Use a custom PNG/JPEG or the procedural starfield.
- Works in any terminal that supports ANSI escape codes. Truecolor terminals (iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty, Ghostty, Alacritty) get full 24-bit RGB. Terminals without truecolor (macOS Terminal.app) automatically fall back to 256-color approximation. VHS recordings are supported with full animation.
