## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, terminal-ui
- domain: social-media, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform, python
- tags: mastodon, tui, fediverse, social-media-client, command-line
