Sclack is a terminal-based CLI client for Slack written in Python, aiming to bring a full-featured Slack experience to the command line. It supports multiple workspaces via Slack tokens and can render images as ASCII art using caca-utils.

Use cases

  • read and send Slack messages from the terminal
  • use Slack without leaving the command line
  • manage multiple Slack workspaces in a TUI
  • render Slack image attachments as ASCII art in the terminal
  • use Slack over SSH on a remote server

When to choose

  • you live in the terminal and want Slack there too
  • you're working on a headless server or over SSH
  • you prefer lightweight keyboard-driven chat clients

When to avoid

  • you need a polished, fully-featured Slack experience
  • your workspace doesn't allow legacy tokens and you want simple setup
  • you need reliable, actively maintained software - the project is alpha and updates are infrequent
