I looking for a TUI liberary/framework with good aesthetics.

• urwid

  19 2,725 9.4 Python

  Console user interface library for Python (official repo)

  

urwid is Python, and looks good.

• python-prompt-toolkit

  21 8,948 7.8 Python

  Library for building powerful interactive command line applications in Python

  

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit is good if you want to create your own CLI inside your TUI (command line within a TUI that can do fancy stuff like Emacs keybindings and tab completion). It's very powerful.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

• textual

• notcurses

  102 3,281 7.6 C

  blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

notcurses is on the leading edge of bling. C with bindings to other languages, you can make some pretty inspiring stuff. Available in most distros. If you are writing your own dashboards ala glances, use notcurses.

• jexer

  32 - - Java

  Java Text User Interface. This library implements a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Vision system

Jexer has almost no userbase, but is a full-fledged windowing system with advanced support for images and multiplexed terminals. Java. You might find the history doc interesting, it has quite a few links to other projects and standards. (Disclaimer: I wrote Jexer.)

• gowid

  1 678 0.0 Go

  Compositional widgets for terminal user interfaces, written in Go, inspired by urwid.

gowid is Go, and looks good.

• termbox

  8 1,941 0.0 C

  Library for writing text-based user interfaces

If you want to go lower-level, then I would recommend against ncurses, and instead start with notcurses or termbox. termbox has lots of language bindings, but the author is no longer maintaining it. Still, not a bad place to start from. If you do decide to get into ncurses, this doc can get you over some of the humps with keyboard/screen/mouse.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

TVision

• pytermgui

  49 2,041 7.4 Python

  Python TUI framework with mouse support, modular widget system, customizable and rapid terminal markup language and more!

If Python is fine, I'd like to shamelessly plug the library I wrote, pytermgui! A documented, stable 1.0.0 is coming out later today, so that is something to look forward to :)
