Rattles is a minimal, dependency-free terminal spinner/throbber library for Rust with built-in presets (arrows, ascii, braille, emoji) and a macro for custom keyframes. It supports no_std environments and integrates with ratatui-based TUIs.

Use cases

  • show a loading spinner in a rust cli
  • add a throbber animation to a ratatui tui app
  • render progress indicators in a no_std embedded terminal
  • create custom ascii spinner keyframes
  • add animated indicators to terminal output

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free spinner library in Rust
  • you want no_std support or custom frame timing control
  • you're building a ratatui TUI and need throbber frames

When to avoid

  • you need full-featured progress bars with percentages and ETA
  • you want a library that manages its own rendering thread and output
