The other day I found many TUI tools on a site called Terminal Trove:

https://terminaltrove.com/

And it also features a great list of them here that many might not have heard of.

https://terminaltrove.com/list/

For example trippy and nvtop look very nice for TUIs and other 'top' based tools they have listed there.

https://terminaltrove.com/trippy/

https://terminaltrove.com/nvtop/

There's screenshots and install instructions that's also convenient.




I would add another site to the list: https://inconsolation.wordpress.com/

You can find reviews of hundreds of CLI And TUI programs, some great, others barely known and clearly forgotten. The last review is from 2015. Some reviews are very short, others are more involved.

The site is a blog with a tagline "Adventures with lightweight and minimalist software for Linux". The author K.Mandla is opinionated and has certain preferences for such programs like [1].

I have not looked at the site in years, but if you are willing to explore, this could be a fun option to find a variety of these tools.

In the same TUI spirit:

https://github.com/cosmos72/twin

A text mode environment and window manager, with terminal emulation, VNC-style sessions and viewers, and networked clients.

The extra convenient part is that the default installation instructions are for everyone's favourite, snap.
