+# Terminal User Interface (TUI)
+
+Terminal or Text User Interface apps are very effective, especially for people who prefer the keyboard over mouse for control.
+
+TUI's tend to use a lot less resources and therefore perform very well, regardless of operating system and available resources (CPU, Memory, Disk space, etc.).

+
+??? INFO "NCurses - the original TUI library"
+    [NCurses](https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/){target=_blank} is a programming library for creating textual user interfaces that work across a wide variety of terminals, written to optimize commands sent to the terminal to reduce latency when updating the displayed content.
