Terminal TUI-based dashboard, serving at-a-glance information across multiple domains

Editor’s pick

It stands out because it is not a single-purpose monitor. Glint combines ten widget families, multi-instance panes, live reload, mouse-friendly focus, and command-bar navigation while keeping credentials local and avoiding telemetry or a cloud backend.

Glint treats the terminal as a personal information cockpit: a configurable grid of widgets, stackable panes, live theme switching, and plain-TOML config under ~/.config/glint. First launch opens a setup wizard, then the dashboard becomes a fast keyboard-driven workspace for checking the signals that matter.

Origin story

The project is built around a simple idea: terminal dashboards can be personal, beautiful, and useful without becoming web apps. Everything is opt-in, locally configured, and designed around direct keyboard control.

First workflow

Start with glint --setup, pick a layout, assign widgets to panes, add only the credentials you need, then launch glint for an at-a-glance dashboard you can drive with Tab, shortcuts, and the command bar.

Design choice

The best design choice is the composable grid: each cell can hold one widget or a stack you cycle through, so a tiny terminal can still carry multiple daily signals without visual chaos.

Roadmap

The README points toward a growing widget ecosystem with an SDK, feature-gated slim builds, more themes, and locally configured service integrations.
