Build Terminal Apps in Pure Swift with TUIKit - Getting Started Guide

Swift on the server and command line is growing — but building interactive terminal apps has meant dropping down to C with ncurses or readline. Not anymore.

What is TUIKit?

  • Pure Swift toolkit for terminal/CLI interfaces
  • No C dependencies, no bridging headers
  • Cross‑platform (macOS, Linux)

What you'll build:

  • Colored terminal output
  • User input prompts and selections
  • Menus and navigation
  • Progress indicators and spinners

Perfect for:

  • Swift CLI tools that need user interaction
  • Developer productivity scripts
  • Internal team tooling
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.
