whatscli is a terminal-based command line client for WhatsApp built on the go-whatsmeow library and tview. It lets users send and receive messages, manage groups, and exchange media attachments directly from the terminal without a browser.
Use cases
- use whatsapp from the terminal
- send and receive whatsapp messages without a browser
- chat on whatsapp via command line
- download whatsapp attachments from the cli
- manage whatsapp groups from a terminal ui
- run whatsapp on a raspberry pi
When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want WhatsApp alongside other CLI tools
- you need a lightweight WhatsApp client for Linux, macOS, Windows, or Raspberry Pi
- you want QR-code login without running a browser session
When to avoid
- you need message automation or scripted sending - it is explicitly not supported
- you need full message history sync or advanced WhatsApp features
- you require an officially supported client, since Meta may break unofficial API access
