This repository contains a proof-of-concept CLI tool for recovering text from pixelated screenshots, specifically targeting password recovery. The core algorithm identifies same-color rectangles in the pixelated image, computes their average color (with optional gamma correction), and matches them against a search image containing a De Bruijn sequence of expected characters. Geometric relationships between matched blocks are used to resolve ambiguous matches. The tool is implemented as a single Python script (depix.py) with a supporting library (depixlib) for image loading, rectangle detection, and matching logic. Additional utility scripts generate pixelated images and visualize detected boxes. The code is functional but lacks tests, dependency pinning, and modern packaging; it is a proof-of-concept rather than a production-ready application. The README indicates the project has migrated to Codeberg, suggesting the GitHub repository is no longer actively maintained.
