wolfetch

Ultra-fast. Minimal by design.

wolfetch preview

wolfetch is a small command-line system summary with a minimal wolf beside it. It starts almost instantly, stays easy to understand, and gives you useful information without daemons, background services, or a complicated config format.

Quick Start

wolfetch
wfetch
wolfetch --plain
wolfetch --json
wolfetch -u    # optional NVIDIA NVML usage

Features

  • Ultra-fast startup and a small native binary.
  • Minimal royal-blue terminal output.
  • Configurable fields and field order.
  • JSON, plain, fast and no-logo modes.
  • --minimal mode for a compact, low-cost summary.
  • Simple key=value configuration.
  • No system service or runtime daemon.
  • No shell commands executed from configuration.

The default command is the fastest path and does not initialize NVML. Use wolfetch -u (or wfetch -u) to enable optional NVIDIA GPU utilization via NVML. That mode is slower because the NVIDIA library must be loaded and initialized; without the flag, or without NVML, NVIDIA usage is shown as N/A.

Benchmark

Honest local Hyperfine benchmark for wolfetch, pfetch-rs, Fastfetch and Macchina. See benchmarks/results.md for hardware, versions, commands and measured output.

The benchmark reports both the fast default path and the slower optional --gpu-usage path separately.

Run the reproducible benchmark yourself:

bash benchmarks/startup.sh

Installation

Use the Installation guide for package-manager commands, release archives and building from source.

The latest downloads are available in GitHub Releases.

Configuration
