• zellij

  90 17,340 9.4 Rust

Zellij is a user-friendly terminal multiplexer (similar to tmux) that should be easier for new users to get the hang-of. Would be cool to add it near tmux in the "Essentials for Terminal Nerds" section.

• clifm

  90 1,239 9.9 C

  The shell-like, command line terminal file manager: simple, fast, extensible, and lightweight as hell.

The TUI is a quite popular interface among file managers. Almost all of them are TUI-based indeed, with one single exception (as far as I know): clifm is entirely CLI-based (though it supports TUI stuff via extensions or plugins).
