About Macchina

Macchina is a fetching program, not a library.

Macchina lets you view basic system information, like your hostname, kernel, uptime, memory usage, and much more. It provides you with convenient features and customization options but doesn't lose sight of its two main priorities: minimalism and performance.

Dependencies

• Linux:
  • wmctrl
  • Gentoo Only: portage-utils
• NetBSD:
  • wmctrl
  • ripgrep

The dependencies wiki page explains why these dependencies exist.
