Terminal UIs offer a nice escape from the increasingly-cluttered world of modern UI design. These are a few of the things I’ve found on my travels.

See awesome-tuis for more ideas.

• Internet
  • aerc—mail client
  • newsboat—feed reader that syncs with FreshRSS; the user-interface is a little clunky, but it works well once you’ve learned its quirks (sudo apt install newsboat)
  • links—web browser
• Social
  • discordo—entirely reasonable Discord client with awkward authentication
  • gomuks—matrix headless client and terminal frontend
  • tooi—Mastodon client; I wish it used default terminal colours
• Multimedia
  • abs-tui—Audiobookshelf client. Seems reasonable, but missing Podcast support.
  • jellyfin-tui—Jellyfin client (cargo install --git https://github.com/dhonus/jellyfin-tui)
  • podliner—podcasts
  • seance—podcatcher by Geist
• Files
  • ranger—had to build the latest version of this to pick up image support in Ghostty
  • fancy-cat—pdf viewer
  • timg
  • bresson—exif viewer / editor
• System (Linux)
  • ly—TUI display manager
  • impala—looks good but doesn’t seems to play nicely with Raspberry Pi’s wpa_supplicant
  • bluetuii (perhaps useful for the Little Luggable)
• Development
  • gitu—git client (cargo install gitu --locked)
  • lazyactions—GitHub Actions client
• Miscellaneous
  • f3d—cli for rendering 3d models
  • gadacz
  • gitu
  • khal—calendar
  • termscp—file manager with remote support (think Transmit)
  • tuime—clock
  • unimatrix
  • wordgrinder—word processor
  • youtube-tui—YouTube client
