Open-source alternatives to Console

A go library to improve readability in terminal apps using tabular data

go-prompt is a library for building interactive command-line interfaces in Go. It serves as a cross-platform console UI framework and terminal input manager, providing the tools necessary to capture user input and execute commands through a persistent interactive loop. The library features a dedicated auto-completion engine that provides real-time command suggestions. It also supports dynamic prompt prefixes updated via callback functions and a system for managing and recalling command history. The framework covers a broad range of terminal capabilities, including keyboard shortcut mapping,

A tiny library for super simple Golang tables

Argv is a library for Go to split command line string into arguments array.

Fully featured Go (golang) command line option parser with built-in auto-completion support.

A simple command line notebook

Termui is a Go terminal user interface library used for building interactive dashboards and visual layouts within a command-line environment. It functions as a TUI layout engine, an interactive CLI framework, and a terminal data visualization toolkit. The library provides a set of specialized widgets for rendering charts, plots, gauges, and tables using character-based graphics. It includes a grid-based system for arranging interface elements using relative coordinates and proportional sizing to create structured displays. The toolkit covers a broad range of capabilities including data visua

A go library to render progress bars in terminal applications

FlashFlags is an ultra-fast, zero-dependency, lock-free command-line flag parsing library for Go. Originally built for Argus, it provides great performance while maintaining simplicity and ease of use.

Orpheus is a high-performance CLI framework designed to be super simple and ~30× faster than popular alternatives with zero external dependencies. Built on FlashFlags, Orpheus provides a simple interface to create modern, fast CLI apps similar to git.

This is subcmd, a Go package for writing command-line programs that require flag parsing and that have “subcommands” that also require flag parsing.

Argparse for golang. Just because flag sucks

An easy to use menu structure for cli applications that prompts users to make choices.

memsh - virtual in-memory shell

Elvish is a shell that combines interactive command-line use with a structured scripting language, designed to make both everyday terminal work and automation tasks more predictable and readable. It parses, compiles, and executes code in three phases, catching syntax and variable errors before any code runs, and it aborts execution on command failure by default to prevent silent errors. The shell introduces value-oriented pipelines that pass structured data like lists, maps, and closures between commands, preserving types without serialization. It also mixes traditional byte streams with thes

Opinionated declarative CLI args, ENV vars and config files

Strumt is a library to create prompt chain

uilive is a go library for updating terminal output in realtime

Fx is a command-line processing suite designed for the transformation, conversion, exploration, and visualization of structured data. It functions as a terminal-based utility that handles both automated shell pipelines and interactive navigation of complex, nested data hierarchies. The tool distinguishes itself by integrating a JavaScript-based engine that executes user-provided logic to filter, map, or modify data fields within a sandboxed runtime. It maintains a responsive interface by decoupling data processing from the display loop, allowing users to explore large datasets through an inte
