CLUSTER AUDIO-TERMINAL-VISUALIZER · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-03-27

Terminal audio visualizers

A cluster of terminal-based applications that render real-time audio visualizations, ranging from music players to recording dashboards and ambient sound mixers. Entries are dated sporadically from March 2024 to June 2026, with a minor concentration in April 2026. Traction leaders (lofi-atc-mixer, hypr-audio-hud, waveterm-vis) all have zero stars, indicating minimal external engagement.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 19 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
