A PHP library for building interactive terminal menus with an expressive DSL. It supports selectable items, checkboxes, radio buttons, submenus, ASCII art, dialogues, text/number/password inputs, and custom keyboard shortcuts.

Use cases

When to choose

When to avoid

your project is not written in PHP
you need a full TUI framework with windows and panels rather than menus
you are building a web or GUI application
