Ponysay is a Python 3 command-line tool that reimplements cowsay, displaying messages with My Little Pony characters as ASCII art in the terminal. It supports many pony figures, quoting specific ponies, and is packaged for major Linux distributions, macOS Homebrew, and Docker.

Use cases

  • display a message in the terminal with a pony saying it
  • cowsay alternative with My Little Pony characters
  • add fun pony ASCII art to terminal greetings or shell startup
  • show a specific pony like Pinkie Pie saying a quote
  • entertain coworkers with terminal pony messages

When to avoid

  • you need serious or professional terminal output
  • you want the original cowsay with cows
  • you need a tool for Windows without a Unix-like environment
