history
Project history and usage
No More Secrets is a terminal toy and effect generator: it pipes text through a 'Hollywood decryption' animation inspired by the 1992 film Sneakers.
Project history
The upstream README defines the project around one memorable visual: the data decryption effect seen in Sneakers. It ships nms for arbitrary piped text and sneakers for a more direct recreation of the movie clip, relying by default on ANSI/VT100 terminal escape sequences and offering an ncurses implementation for terminals that need it.
The project is small C code with a stable niche: fun terminal demos, screenshots, talks, shell aliases, and social-media-friendly command-line output. Its release history is short compared with infrastructure packages, but the repository's packaging files and distro availability show it escaped pure novelty status.
Adoption history
Adoption is mostly cultural rather than infrastructural. The upstream README notes that more Unix/Linux platforms include it in package managers, and package metadata shows it in Homebrew, Fedora/openSUSE-family packages, MacPorts, and Nix. Its GitHub page also shows thousands of stars, which fits a visual terminal project that spreads by demos.
The tool's staying power comes from being scriptable: because nms reads standard input, users can animate ls output, logs, generated banners, conference demos, terminal startup gags, or README screenshots without modifying the producing command.
How it is used
The common use is a pipe: ls -l | nms. Flags control auto-decrypt, masking spaces, foreground color, screen clearing, and version output. By default it waits for a keypress before decrypting, matching the source-film rhythm.
Package nerds treat it as a harmless terminal flourish: a tiny C command, no default dependencies, optional ncurses build, and an obvious Unix interface. It is not a security tool and does not encrypt anything; its value is aesthetic and demonstrative.
Why package nerds care
No More Secrets is significant as a packaged terminal-culture artifact. It is the kind of small, self-contained command that package managers preserve well: one memorable behavior, trivial invocation, and enough charm to justify installation despite having no operational necessity.
