A terminal UI for the Daily.dev public API, now on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Install

Windows (PowerShell)

macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon)

curl -fsSL https://github.com/F4NT0/daily-dev-tui/releases/latest/download/install-macos.sh | bash

Open a new terminal and run daily-dev.

What's new

macOS support

• New install-macos.sh one-line installer.
• Native TUI builds for Intel (darwin-amd64) and Apple Silicon (darwin-arm64).

Themes

• Every TUI color is a variable in a .conf file inside the themes/ directory next to the program.
• Included themes: Default, Catppuccin Mocha, Nord, Terminal and Darcula.
• Press t for a floating theme picker with live preview. The choice is remembered.
• Create your own by copying a .conf file; it appears in the picker automatically.
• Installers never overwrite existing theme files.

Login

• Choose between Bearer token and OAuth (sign in with daily.dev, authorization code + PKCE, automatic token refresh).

Posts

• Select a post in the results, bookmark it (orange border), open it on daily.dev or open the original link.
• Read-only comments panel (the public API cannot create comments).
• Noisy fields (commentsPermalink, source.handle, source.id) are no longer shown in the cards.

Help and links

• Press h for a floating help panel with one tab per panel (Ctrl+H inside forms).
• If no browser can be opened (for example no xdg-open on Linux), a floating panel shows the post and the link to open manually. Linux also tries $BROWSER, gio, wslview and common browsers.

Quality

• Unit tests for every API call, run automatically on each push and pull request.
• install.sh is LF-only so it runs correctly on Linux.
