matrix

Open source · Terminal

Matrix rain screensaver for the terminal. For recording livestreams.

Matrix rain screensaver for your terminal. Press any key - it launches whatever you tell it to.

Film-style halfwidth katakana, white-hot drop heads, green gradient trails, three parallax depth layers, and rain intensity that ebbs and flows like real weather.

cmatrix has no katakana. This one does. Wake up, Neo.
