cuteff

a cute system info fetch thingy

about

cuteff is a simple system information fetcher written in go. some of the main features are:

• cute and minimal
• super lightweight
• fast af (currently beats even fastfetch)
• no dependencies
• full nix support :3

usage and customization

if you want to try out cuteff, you can use nix to build and run it directly (NixOS/nix#14064 when 😭):

nix run https://codeberg.org/koibtw/cuteff/archive/main.tar.gz

configuration

cuteff can be configured via a config file located at ~/.config/cuteff/config.json. see the example config for all available options.
