## What it is
A Linux CLI tool that renders any GUI application window inside a terminal, working on both X11 and Wayland. It supports rendering over SSH and can output full-resolution images in terminals like kitty and iTerm2.

## Use cases
- run gui apps in the terminal
- display a graphical app over ssh
- render firefox inside a terminal
- use a gui file manager in the terminal
- run a desktop environment in a terminal
- play a game in the terminal

## When to choose
- you want to view or interact with GUI apps remotely over ssh without a display server
- you live in the terminal and want quick access to GUI windows
- your terminal supports image protocols and you want full-resolution rendering

## When to avoid
- you need high-performance graphics or smooth video playback
- you are on Windows or macOS natively (Linux only)
- you need pixel-perfect accessibility or fine mouse interaction

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: gui, terminal-ui, graphics
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems
- platform: cli
- tags: wayland, x11, ssh, terminal-graphics, gui-in-terminal, command-line, linux
