A command line tool that recreates the famous data decryption effect from the 1992 movie Sneakers.
No More Secrets is a command line tool that recreates the famous data decryption visual effect from the 1992 movie Sneakers. It takes any piped ASCII or UTF-8 text and displays it as encrypted characters before animating a decryption sequence to reveal the original text. It solves the problem of adding cinematic, hacker-style flair to terminal output.
Terminal users, developers, and movie enthusiasts who want to add visual effects to command line tools or presentations, or anyone looking for a fun, nostalgic utility.
Developers choose No More Secrets for its authentic, faithful recreation of a iconic movie effect with no dependencies by default, its flexibility via command line options, and its availability as an integratable C library for custom projects.

Faithfully replicates the iconic data decryption sequence from Sneakers, as demonstrated in the referenced YouTube clip and animated GIFs in the README.
Installs with only basic tools like git, gcc, and make, making it lightweight and easy to build from source without extra libraries.
Offers command-line flags for auto-decrypt, masking spaces, setting text colors (e.g., -f green), and clearing the screen, allowing tailored visual experiences.
Provides LibNMS, a separate C library that enables developers to embed the decryption effect into their own command-line projects.
By default, it waits for user input before decryption, which can break automated pipelines unless the -a flag is explicitly set, adding complexity for scripting.
When using the ncurses implementation for terminal compatibility, it always clears the screen prior to output, losing inline display functionality as noted in the README.
Only processes ASCII or UTF-8 text piped to it, so it cannot handle binary data or non-textual inputs, restricting use in diverse data workflows.
