Neofetch is a system information tool written in the Bash shell scripting language.[2] It displays a logo of the distribution, rendered in ASCII art,[3][4] and a static display of the computer's basic hardware and software configurations and their versions. The display includes the operating system, the host (namely the technical name of the machine), uptime, package managers, the shell, display resolution, desktop environment, window manager, themes and icons, the computer terminal, CPU, GPU, and RAM usage. Neofetch can also display images on the terminal with w3m-img or Sixel in place of the ASCII logo art.

Neofetch development was discontinued on 26 April 2024, nearly four years after it was last updated.[5][6]

Name Programming language Released as Description Source
ScreenFetch Shell script Source code First announced in 2010, this tool is older than NeoFetch by six years. The tool's repo describes it as "The Bash Screenshot Information Tool" because the tool's output is intended to be included in screenshots that demonstrate themes. [7]
HyFetch Shell script, Python and Rust Source code An updated fork of NeoFetch that can optionally render the OS logo in the colors of a chosen pride flag [8]
FastFetch C Portable Executable A cross-platform, feature-rich, performance-minded, highly customizable replacement of NeoFetch, it comes with FlashFetch.exe, which is even faster, but its output is not customizable. [9]
WinFetch PowerShell Source code A comprehensive reimplementation of NeoFetch in PowerShell, it specifically targets Microsoft Windows. [10]
