GOCUI is a minimalist Go package for building console user interfaces (TUIs) with overlapping views, keybindings, mouse support, and colored text. It provides a small, concurrent-safe API for creating terminal-based interactive applications.

Use cases

  • build a terminal dashboard in go
  • create a tui app with keybindings
  • write a console ui with mouse support
  • make a cli tool with interactive views
  • build terminal widgets and layouts in go

When to choose

  • you want a small, minimalist TUI library in Go
  • you need overlapping views and runtime-modifiable GUIs
  • you prefer a simple io.ReadWriter-based view model

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured widget toolkit with extensive components
  • you are building a graphical (non-terminal) application
  • you want a maintained library with frequent updates
