Listr is a Node.js library for rendering task lists in the terminal with live status indicators, sub-tasks, and concurrent execution. Tasks can be synchronous functions, promises, or observables, with support for skipping, enabling, and error handling.

Use cases

  • show a progress list for multi-step cli tasks
  • render nested sub-tasks in the terminal
  • display spinner indicators while running async tasks
  • run setup steps concurrently with live status
  • build a publish or install pipeline with visible task status

When to choose

  • you are building a Node.js CLI that runs multiple sequential or concurrent steps
  • you want polished terminal output with sub-tasks and status updates

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained alternative - the repo has been quiet and listr2 is the actively developed successor
  • your project is not JavaScript/Node.js
