Hypeman is a minimal terminal tool that boosts your mood every time you open your terminal—showing a random motivational quote and ASCII/digital art.

Note:
This was a fun one-off project—no intention to compete with similar tools. Just a bit of CLI joy!

• Random motivational quote each launch
• Rotating ASCII/digital art banners
• Easily add your own quotes or art
• No external dependencies (pure C++)
• Fast, tiny, fully offline
• Works with any shell: bash, zsh, fish
• Open-source (MIT License)

I wanted a startup message that actually felt motivating—quotes from people I respect, art that doesn’t feel generic, and a CLI-native vibe.
If you spend hours in your terminal, a little positivity can go a long way!

git clone https://github.com/Adityavihaan/Hypeman.git
cd Hypeman
./install.sh          # Builds and installs Hypeman to /usr/bin
./install-configs.sh  # Adds default quotes, art, and config files

hypeman

To run Hypeman every time you open a terminal, add this to your shell startup file:

For Bash:

echo "hypeman" >> ~/.bashrc

For Zsh:

echo "hypeman" >> ~/.zshrc

Edit:

~/.config/hypeman/art.txt

Use this format:

art1 {
  ASCII ART LINES
}
art2 {
  MORE ART HERE
}

• Each block is indented and labeled (art1, art2, ...).

Edit:

~/.config/hypeman/quotes.txt

• One quote per line.

Edit:

~/.config/hypeman/config.toml

Options:

[style]
font = "default"        # Options: default, bold, small, block
color = "cyan"          # Options: red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white

[settings]
randomize = true

All user data stored in:

~/.config/hypeman/
├── config.toml       # Style settings
├── quotes.txt        # Motivational quotes
└── art.txt           # Art blocks

sudo rm /usr/bin/hypeman
rm -rf ~/.config/hypeman

• Personalizes your terminal
• A small ritual for a mental boost
• Offline, lightning fast
• Infinitely extendable with your own personality

Forks and PRs welcome—ideas too!
