System info,
beautifully fetched.
An advanced Windows system information fetcher written in C++ — featuring self-healing configuration, modular architecture, compact & detailed modes, and extreme customization.
Built for Windows.
Built to last.
BinaryFetch displays your full system snapshot in the terminal — CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk, Network, Audio, Battery, and more — all in one beautifully formatted, color-coded output.
Every element is individually toggle-able and color-configurable through a single JSON file. No restart, no recompile.
- ✓Compact & Expanded display modes
- ✓Multi-GPU & multi-monitor detection
- ✓14+ ANSI color codes per module
- ✓Predictive disk read/write performance
- ✓Zero network calls — fully offline
- ✓Self-healing: missing files auto-recreated
Key features of BinaryFetch
Every architectural decision is made with reliability first — so you can customize freely without fear.
Self-Healing Engine
Deleted BinaryArt.txt? Config missing? BinaryFetch auto-recreates everything
from bundled defaults. The program never crashes due to missing user files.
Module-Per-Domain
34 independent classes, 158 functions, zero coupling. Each system category is its own sealed module — no orchestration spaghetti, no hidden dependencies.
Extreme Customization
300+ individual JSON settings. Toggle any module, set per-character ANSI colors in your ASCII art, choose compact or detailed view — all without touching a line of C++.
Always First-Run Ready
No setup wizard, no installer prompts. Extract and run. BinaryFetch bootstraps itself completely on first launch, with sensible defaults already in place.
Deep Hardware Visibility
Reads CPU/GPU/RAM/Disk/Network/Audio/Battery. Detects all connected monitors, all GPUs simultaneously. Even predicts disk read/write speeds before the OS reports them.
Community Shareable
Your config is just two files — JSON + ASCII art. Zip them up and share your exact setup with anyone in the community. No databases, no profiles, no accounts.
Up and running in 60 seconds.
No package manager, no admin install. Just download the release, place it anywhere, and run it.
Download
Grab BinaryFetch.exe from the
GitHub Releases page.
Place & Run
Put it in any folder. Open a terminal in that directory and execute the binary.
Customize
Edit the two auto-generated files at C:\Users\Public\BinaryFetch\
# Navigate to the folder where you placed BinaryFetch.exe cd C:\Tools\BinaryFetch # Run BinaryFetch .\BinaryFetch.exe # On first run, config files are auto-created here: # C:\Users\Public\BinaryFetch\BinaryFetch_Config.json # C:\Users\Public\BinaryFetch\BinaryArt.txt # Customize colors in BinaryArt.txt using $1–$14 tokens: $1⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ # $1 = Red, $2 = Green, $3 = Yellow... $2⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿$3⣿⣿⣿⣿ # Mix colors mid-line
Two files. Infinite looks.
Everything you can change lives in two plain-text files. No IDE required.
| Token | Color | Token | Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | Red | $8 | Bright Red |
| $2 | Green | $9 | Bright Green |
| $3 | Yellow | $10 | Bright Yellow |
| $4 | Blue | $11 | Bright Blue |
| $5 | Magenta | $12 | Bright Magenta |
| $6 | Cyan | $13 | Bright Cyan |
| $7 | White | $14 | Bright White |
| $15 | Reset | ||
Only 2 files to master
All user customization lives under C:\Users\Public\BinaryFetch\
— editable in any text editor.
Use $n anywhere in BinaryArt.txt to switch ANSI
color mid-line. Mix and match for vivid, multi-color ASCII art with zero effort.

The numbers behind the binary.
Common questions.
C:\Users\Public\BinaryFetch\BinaryArt.txt
in any text editor. Paste in any ASCII or Braille block art. Prefix lines or sections
with $1 through $14 to apply ANSI colors.
Use $15 to reset. Save
and re-run BinaryFetch. That's it.BinaryFetch_Config.json and
set any module's "enabled" property to
false. The module will
be completely skipped on the next run. You can also toggle individual sub-sections and
configure per-element colors within the same file — over 300 individual settings are
available.Ready to fetch?
Free forever. No install. No telemetry. Just run the binary and see your system like never before.
