## What it is
Bluetui is a terminal user interface (TUI) application for managing Bluetooth on Linux via BlueZ. It lets users scan, pair, connect, trust, rename, and unpair Bluetooth devices and control adapters entirely from the terminal.

## Use cases
- manage bluetooth devices from the terminal
- pair and connect bluetooth headphones on linux
- tui alternative to bluetoothctl
- scan for nearby bluetooth devices
- unpair or rename paired bluetooth devices
- toggle bluetooth adapter power and pairing mode

## When to choose
- you manage Bluetooth on a Linux system and prefer keyboard-driven terminal tools
- you want a visual interface over BlueZ without a desktop GUI
- you work on headless or minimal Linux setups needing Bluetooth control

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS, Windows, or BSD - it is Linux/BlueZ only
- you need scripted/automated Bluetooth control rather than interactive use
- you require advanced Bluetooth profiles like audio codec configuration
