What problem does it solve?

Building rich terminal user interfaces can be time-consuming and brittle; termcast provides a Raycast-like React API that renders to the terminal, enabling rapid TUI development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component-based primitives (List, Detail, Form, ActionPanel) for building interactive terminal UIs.
  • Navigation, metadata, charts, and dashboards in a single terminal interface with keyboard-driven workflows.
  • Use cases include creating CLI tools, status dashboards, and in-terminal plugins or extensions.

Quick Start

Install termcast globally and scaffold a new extension project, then run termcast dev to start the live UI.
