Aurora Shell is a sleek, cross-platform terminal enhancement for macOS (Zsh) and Windows (PowerShell 7+). Every time you open a terminal, Aurora greets you with an ASCII art banner, live CPU/disk/battery diagnostics, and a vibrant rainbow gradient prompt. Beyond the theme, Aurora ships a full command center — shell.aurora — for managing your session lock, updating the theme, and controlling your Aurora account.

Complete the configuration wizard

The installer walks you through setting a PIN, choosing a header style (Mega-Block or custom figlet), setting a prompt ID, and optionally creating an Aurora account.
3

Restart your terminal

After installation, restart your terminal (or run zsh on macOS) to activate the Aurora theme. You’ll see the diagnostics banner immediately.

Explore the command center

Run shell.aurora with no arguments to see all available commands, or jump straight to shell install CLI to get the CLI package installer.
macOS requires lolcat and figlet for colorful output. The installer will set these up automatically via Homebrew. Windows uses the built-in PowerShell color engine.
