Philosophy

Kijauk was created with a simple goal:

Deliver essential developer context at a glance while maintaining a clean, elegant, and distraction-free terminal experience.

Many themes prioritize aesthetics at the expense of usability. Kijauk aims to balance both by providing meaningful information without turning the prompt into a wall of text.

The result is a terminal theme that feels professional enough for everyday work while remaining visually distinctive and enjoyable to use.
