Build a Swift Terminal Developer Toolkit with TUIkit | Pomodoro, Git Status & Release Tracker

Stewart Lynch

Your terminal can do more than run commands — it can be your daily dashboard.

What this tutorial builds:

Pomodoro Timer — focus sessions with break reminders, progress display
Git Status Viewer — glance at branch, dirty files, unpushed commits across repos
Release Tracker — monitor app versions, build numbers, or dependency updates

Built with:

Pure Swift (no C dependencies)
TUIKit for terminal UI components
Colored output, input handling, real-time updates

Perfect for: Developers who live in the terminal and want custom tooling without learning ncurses.

In partnership with

Fastlane alternative – CLI tools

Are you tired of Ruby and Fastlane installation issues? There's got to be a better way! Discover Codemagic open source CLI tools. It is not a drop-in replacement for all of what Fastlane does (screenshots for example), but we use it at Codemagic to build and publish iOS and Android apps, also versioning and device provisioning.
