At home in
your terminal.

The Slipbridge CLI is the component that connects software to your receipt printer. Use it with the workspace, or print local files on its own.

Local printing needs no Slipbridge account.

Slipbridge CLI
# Preview without printing
slipbridge render note.md \
  --paper 80mm --output note.png

# Send a file to your printer
slipbridge print note.png

Print local content

Send text, Markdown, and images to a compatible ESC/POS printer. Choose USB or network delivery.

Render before you print

Make an exact PNG preview at your chosen paper width. Inspect the output without using any paper.

Fit your workflow

Use shell scripts, local jobs, and JSON output. Connect the listener to the web app when you want workspace features.

The app makes the design.
The CLI makes the connection.

The workspace handles templates, artwork, schedules, and history. The CLI receives the finished print and talks to the printer. Its local commands also work independently.
