Read any URL in your terminal. Powered by Jina AI Reader.

termread https://x.com/akshay_pachaar/status/2041146899319971922

Install

npm install -g termread

Or run without installing:

npx termread <url>

Features

• Strips ads, nav bars, and clutter — shows only the content
• Renders Markdown with visual hierarchy: headings, bold, bullets, code blocks
• Displays images as colored pixel art directly in the terminal — no external tools required
• Works with X/Twitter threads, blog posts, GitHub issues, documentation, and more

Usage

termread <url>
termread --help

How it works

termread passes your URL through https://r.jina.ai/<url>, which strips page chrome and returns clean Markdown. The Markdown is rendered with a custom terminal renderer, and images are decoded and drawn as 24-bit color half-block characters using jimp.

Requirements

Node.js 18 or later.
