An unofficial Instagram client that runs entirely in the terminal, offering a CLI and TUI interface built with Ink/React (plus a legacy Python curses client). It enables keyboard-only browsing of chats, posts, and stories to minimize distraction.

Use cases

  • use instagram from the terminal
  • check instagram dms without opening the app
  • keyboard-only instagram client
  • reduce social media distraction and doomscrolling
  • read instagram messages on a linux server over ssh
  • browse instagram posts and stories in a tui

When to choose

  • you live in the terminal and want full keyboard control
  • you want a lightweight, distraction-free way to check Instagram messages
  • you need to access Instagram from a headless server or SSH session

When to avoid

  • you need full Instagram features like Reels, uploads, or rich media viewing
  • you are uncomfortable with an unofficial client that may violate Meta's Terms of Service and risk account action
  • you prefer graphical, mouse-driven interfaces
