Genact is a terminal activity simulator and fake log generator designed to create the appearance of professional development and system administration work. It functions as a command line simulation tool that outputs a stream of believable system messages to mimic background computer processing.
The tool operates as a terminal screensaver that can prevent a computer from entering an idle or sleep state by maintaining a continuous process of simulated technical activity. It supports multiple predefined scenes and provides controls for simulation speed and run duration.
The project includes capabilities for visual terminal effects, weighted-random activity selection for varied output patterns, and the generation of shell completion scripts for various environments.
