Textual apps run in the terminal and can be deployed on the web
Powered by Python
Use your existing Python skills to build sophisticated apps in a fraction of the time. No need to learn a new web stack every month.
Textual runs just about everywhere
Textual apps run on macOS, Linux, and Windows — from single board computer to the most powerful server. Locally, or over SSH.
Deploy on the web
Turn your terminal app in to a web application with no additional code. Share your Textual apps with a URL. Serve your apps from any internet connected device.
Textual-web
A new class of application
As straightforward and efficient to use as they are to build
Build with Textual
Lean text-based applications are ideal for many use-cases
Internal Tooling
Textual apps can be an entry point into an organisation’s infrastructure, providing an interface to existing processes and tools.
Operational Analytics
The realtime nature of Textual apps makes them particularly useful for monitoring the running of various processes.
Device Configuration
Textual apps can run where other apps can't, which makes them ideal for device configuration.
Jupyter Extensions
Coming soon: Embed Textual apps in your Jupyter notebooks!
Back-end Services
Textual applications can be embedded within web pages, providing additional services to back-end tools.
Here’s what people are saying about us
I wrote TUI for hashicorp vault and nomad with awesome#textualize (and I’m using rich everywhere). Fun facts: I have more code to handle requests and parsing than for the UI

#textualize has become my favourite way to write TUI apps. simple, clean, elegant to use and beautifully documented

Textual has the most beautiful Python API that I've ever seen. The expressivity of Python is because the goal is "pseudocode you can execute" and I truly think Textual *gets* it
