Your terminal is boring. Fix that shit.
Five themed shells for macOS Terminal.app. Each one rewires your prompt, colors, splash screen, and commands into something that actually looks like you give a damn.
No electron apps. No config files to babysit. Just run the installer and pick your poison.
PINHEAD // horror
Blood red on void black. The flagship. Puzzle box ASCII art on launch. Bone white text on void. Commands named after suffering: bind, devour, torment, lament, chains, suffering. Puzzle box prompt (⛧). "We have such sights to show you."
1UP // retro arcade
Phosphor green on pitch black. Three hearts for a prompt. Your git commits are a HI-SCORE. Commands named like a game because your terminal should feel like one: save, quickload, bossfight, rage.
MUJI // minimalist
Warm cream on dark paper. Coffee cup splash. Cloud prompt. For the person who wants their terminal to feel like a quiet morning with a pour-over. gather, wellness, notice, countdown.
NEON // cyberpunk
Cyan and hot pink on void blue. Boot sequence. Lambda prompt. Your terminal pretends it's jacked into a mainframe. scan, probe, netscan, diagnostics, alert.
SHIBUYA // vaporwave
Pink, cyan, lilac on deep purple. Japanese text splash. Palm trees. Sunset gradient ASCII. Pure aesthetic overload. drift, radio, vibes, palm, dream.
git clone https://github.com/LoserLab/shellraiser.git
cd shellraiser
./install.shPicker shows all five. Choose one. Done.
Skip the menu if you already know what you want:
./install.sh pinhead
All five profiles get loaded into Terminal.app. Switch anytime from Shell > New Window in the menu bar.
Requires: macOS, Terminal.app, zsh.
shellraiser command works from anywhere after install:
shellraiser pinhead
No args shows your current theme and what's available.
./uninstall.sh
Puts everything back exactly how it was. Your old config is backed up.
Each theme has its own help:
pinheadhelp # PINHEAD
gamehelp # 1UP
mujihelp # MUJI
neonhelp # NEON
shibuyahelp # SHIBUYA
Same functionality, different names. Because a horror terminal shouldn't call things the same as a minimalist one.

Two files per theme:
- .terminal profile handles colors, font, cursor, window size
- theme.zsh handles prompt, splash screen, aliases, utilities
Installer backs up your config, imports all profiles into Terminal.app, sources your theme in .zshrc, adds the shellraiser command. Nothing installed globally. Uninstall nukes it clean.
Open any file in preview/ in a browser to see the themes animate.
