Fake 'hacking' terminal animation

Sample output — your files never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is this actually hacking anything?

No — it's purely a visual typing animation, like the hacker-typer genre of sites. No commands run, nothing is accessed; it just looks dramatic.

Can I use my own text?

Yes — paste any text (code, logs, a script, lorem ipsum) and it plays back as the animated terminal stream.

What's it for?

Fun: pranks, video and stream backgrounds, skits, or pretending to be in a heist movie. It's a classic joke format — the entertainment is the point.

Does it work fullscreen for recording?

Yes — put the browser fullscreen and the terminal fills the view, which is how people use it for video shots and pranks.
