Splashboard – Rust-based command-line utility

Splashboard is a Rust-based command-line utility that replaces an empty shell prompt with a configurable terminal dashboard.

It renders a splash screen when a shell starts and when changing directories, letting users show contextual information such as repository status, CI health, pull requests, contribution activity, greetings, calendars, clocks, weather-style information, and other data-driven widgets. Projects can include their own .splashboard/dashboard.toml file so the display changes automatically for different working directories.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Uses a widget model that combines fetchers, renderers, and layout slots.
• Supports per-directory dashboard configuration with TOML files.
• Includes presets and themes for quickly building terminal dashboards.
• Offers shell integration for zsh, bash, fish, and PowerShell.
• Provides install options via cargo, Homebrew, cargo-binstall, Nix, and prebuilt binaries.
• Uses trust controls for per-directory configuration files.
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
