A header-only Modern C++ library for rendering terminal progress bars and spinners, including multi-progress and dynamic progress displays. It is thread-safe, supports Unicode and terminal colors, and ships as a single-header version for easy integration.

Use cases

• show a progress bar while processing files in a C++ CLI tool
• display a loading spinner during long-running operations
• render multiple concurrent progress bars for parallel tasks
• add colored terminal progress indicators to a console application
• track elapsed and remaining time for batch jobs

When to choose

• you need lightweight, header-only progress indicators in a C++11+ project
• you want thread-safe multi-progress bars in terminal applications
• you prefer a single-header drop-in dependency with an MIT license

When to avoid

• you need GUI progress dialogs rather than terminal output
• your project is not C++ or requires bindings for other languages
• you need full TUI layouts beyond simple progress bars and spinners
