Toot is a command-line client for Mastodon, supporting posting, replying, deleting statuses, media uploads, search, and account management. It also included a terminal user interface, which is no longer being developed in favor of the separate tooi project.

Use cases

  • post to mastodon from the command line
  • view my mastodon home timeline in the terminal
  • manage multiple mastodon accounts from cli
  • upload media to mastodon via terminal
  • search mastodon statuses and hashtags from shell
  • script mastodon posting in bash

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight terminal-based Mastodon client
  • you need to script or automate Mastodon interactions
  • you prefer keyboard-driven workflows over web interfaces

When to avoid

  • you want a full-featured terminal UI - use tooi instead since toot's TUI is unmaintained
  • you need a graphical Mastodon client
  • you use a different fediverse platform than Mastodon
