## What it is
T-UI is an Android home-screen launcher that replaces the traditional app grid with a Linux-style command-line interface. It supports shell commands, theme presets, and an integrated BusyBox manager providing 300+ Linux utilities.

## Use cases
- turn my android home screen into a linux terminal
- run shell commands like ls and grep on my phone
- customize my launcher with a cyberpunk theme
- install busybox binaries on android without root
- launch apps by typing instead of tapping icons

## When to choose
- you prefer keyboard-driven, terminal-style interaction on your phone
- you want a minimal, distraction-free home screen
- you need quick access to Linux utilities via BusyBox

## When to avoid
