A command-line tool to show big messages across the entire screen which can be closed with any key press.

Features

• Scales text
• Supports multiscreen set pu

Motivation

Finding notifications at the side of your screen can be a pain. It is useful when multitasking but sometimes you want somethign simple.

Installation

You can install fullscreen-message using pipx:

pipx install fullscreen-message

Usage

Show hello world across the whole screen:

fullscreen-message 'Hello world'

If no arguments are given it reads from stdin.

Alternatives and prior work

I found a PyPI package called fullscreen-alert which does somethign similar, but it didn't have any documentation and seemed to be a module rather than a command-line tool.

For the shell, you tools like figlet to draw big messages.
