Awesome TUIs
This is a community maintained list of TUI applications. A TUI application runs in your terminal and has some level of interactivity. Commands included in this list should not wrap other interactive commands (e.g. fzf), and should be maintained.
I made a video of my favorite TUIs from this list (one from each section). Click the image to check it out. 👇
There's a lot of cool projects here that I have no association with. Run them at your own risk. If you have a cool tool you'd like to share please open a PR.
