## What it is
gpg-tui is a terminal user interface for GnuPG written in Rust, built on tui-rs and GPGME bindings. It simplifies key management operations like listing, exporting, and signing keys, with a command-line fallback for complex operations.

## Use cases
- manage gpg keys from the terminal
- list and inspect gpg keys interactively
- export and sign openpgp keys with a tui
- browse gpg key details without parsing gpg output
- manage gnupg keyring in a terminal interface

## When to choose
- you frequently manage GnuPG keys and want an interactive alternative to raw gpg commands
- you want to view key details, subkeys, and signatures without parsing CLI output
- you work primarily in a terminal on Linux or BSD systems

## When to avoid
- you need the full feature set of gpg, since gpg-tui intentionally covers only key management basics
- you need a graphical key manager rather than a terminal one
- you are not comfortable with terminal applications

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, security, cryptography
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: windows, bsd, cli, cross-platform
