AppCUI
A fast, cross-platform Rust library for building modern, text-based user interfaces (TUIs) with rich widgets and full Unicode support.
What is AppCUI?
AppCUI-rs is a Rust library for building fast, cross-platform console and text-based user interfaces (TUIs). It provides a low-level console engine for input and rendering combined with a high-level toolkit of rich widgets like windows, menus, buttons, and list views, enabling developers to create modern terminal applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Rust developers building terminal-based applications, tools, or utilities that require interactive, graphical-like interfaces within the console, such as system monitors, file managers, or development tools.
Developers choose AppCUI-rs for its rich widget set, cross-platform support, modern features like mouse and clipboard integration, and performance as a Rust-native alternative to traditional frameworks like ncurses.
