FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before hitting download.
A TUI (Text User Interface) is an interactive application that runs entirely in the terminal — like htop, lazygit, or k9s. Instead of a web browser or native window, the UI is built from characters, colors, and ANSI escape codes. TUIStudio lets you design these visually instead of hand-coding every layout.
With no code-signing configured, each platform behaves differently:
macOS
Windows
Linux
TUIStudio is currently in Alpha — exports are not functional yet. We're actively working on it.
When ready, the following 6 frameworks will be supported:
- Ink — TypeScript / React for the terminal
- BubbleTea — Go, Elm-architecture TUIs
- Blessed — JavaScript, Node.js
- Textual — Python, modern TUI framework
- OpenTUI — TypeScript
- Tview — Go, widget-based
Switch export targets at any time without touching your design.
TUIStudio is currently in early access. The core editor is free to download and use. A pro tier with team features, cloud sync, and priority support is planned for later.
