Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way. It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind. Currently, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, MacOS and Windows 7+ are supported.
There are screenshots on different platforms
Some distros packaged a outdated fastfetch version. Older version is not supported, please always ensure that the latest version is used.

- Run it with default configuration:
fastfetch
- Run it with all supported modules and find what you interest:
fastfetch -c all.jsonc
- Find all data that fastfetch detects:
fastfetch -s <module> --format json
- Display help messages:
fastfetch --help
- Generate config file based on command line arguments:
fastfetch --arg1 --arg2 --gen-config
Fastfetch uses the JSONC (or JSON with comments) for configuration. See Wiki for detail. There are some premade config files in presets
, including the ones used for the screenshots above. You can load them using -c <filename>
. They may also serve as a good example for format arguments.
Logos can be heavily customized too; see the logo documentation for more information.
- DEB / RPM package:
cmake --build . --target package
- Install directly:
cmake --install . --prefix /usr/local
Q: Why do you need a very performant version of neofetch?
I like putting neofetch in my ~/.bashrc to have a system overview whenever I use the terminal, but the slow speed annoyed me, so I created this. Also neofetch didn't output everything correctly (e.g Font is displayed as "[Plasma], Noto Sans, 10 [GTK2/3]") and writing my own tool gave me the possibility to fine tune it to run perfectly on at least my configuration.
Q: It does not display [*] correctly for me, what can I do?
This is most likely because your system is not implemented (yet). At the moment I am focusing more on making the core app better, than adding more configurations. Feel free to open a pull request if you want to add support for your configuration
