CLI UI is a Ruby framework for building polished command-line user interfaces with interactive widgets. It provides nested framing, interactive prompts, spinner groups, and colored text formatting for terminal applications.
Use cases
- build interactive command-line prompts with arrow key selection
- add spinners to long-running CLI tasks
- format colored text output in the terminal
- create nested frames for structured CLI output
- ask users free-form text questions in a CLI tool
- run multiple background tasks with progress spinners
When to choose
- you are building a Ruby CLI tool and want polished interactive UI widgets
- you need multi-select or filterable terminal prompts
- you want spinner groups for concurrent CLI tasks
When to avoid
- you are not working in Ruby
- you need a full TUI framework with windows and mouse support
- you only need simple colored output without interactivity
