Make it yours (optional purchases) • Unlock custom terminal prompt colors to match your style. • Optional “Infinite Integrity” support for learners who want a calmer practice flow around mistakes (details in-app). Who it’s for Beginners who’ve been intimidated by the terminal, career switchers, students, and anyone who learns best by doing and not reading a manual cover to cover.
