Indicatif is a Rust library for displaying progress bars, spinners, and other progress reporting in command line applications. It supports multi-progress bars, templates, and integrates with the log and tracing crates.

Use cases

  • show a progress bar while downloading files in a CLI
  • add spinners to long-running terminal tasks
  • display multiple concurrent progress bars in a Rust CLI
  • report task progress to users in command line tools
  • prevent log output from clobbering active progress bars

When to choose

  • you are building a Rust CLI and need polished progress reporting
  • you want battle-tested progress bars with huge adoption (200M+ downloads)
  • you need multi-bar rendering or log/tracing integration

When to avoid

  • you are not writing in Rust
  • you need full TUI layouts rather than progress indicators
  • you need a GUI progress display
