Terminal — hacker-mode notch teleprompter.

Bright terminal-green text on a matte-black notch background.

HeyNotch · Hacker green on deep matte black

Terminal is the theme for engineers. Bright green on matte black, monospaced by default — it reads exactly like the terminal you live in all day.

Use it for code walkthroughs, tutorial videos, and technical interviews where the aesthetic should match the content.

Matches your editor

Recording in dark VS Code? Terminal blends rather than fighting.

Monospace-first

All terminal-friendly fonts (JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, IBM Plex Mono) ship in HeyNotch.

Reads through compression

High-saturation green stays crisp through aggressive YouTube/Loom compression.

Best for

Developer tutorials
Code demos
DevOps walkthroughs
Engineering interviews

Common questions

Will the green clash with my IDE?

Only if your IDE is also green. Most dark themes are blue or grey.

Different mono font?

Notch → Typography → Font family. Pick from the bundled set.

Works for non-dev calls?

Engineer-coded — for general content try Graphite or Obsidian.
