Why Termweave

The terminal is already the interface.

Keep the keyboard-first experience. Termweave gives it a native window, a product identity, and a path to distribution.

01 / 06window

A real native window

Your OpenTUI interface runs inside a resizable Tauri desktop window—not a browser-shaped imitation.

02 / 06config

One source of truth

Set the name, colors, window size, bundle metadata, and icon in a single JSON config.

03 / 06reload

Keep your flow

Edit your Solid interface and see source changes without restarting the native window.

04 / 06bundle

One-command bundles

Turn the same project into a native bundle for the current machine with one build command.

05 / 06surface

A small project surface

Own the interface and product details. Termweave manages the renderer, lifecycle, and packaging.

06 / 06open

Open by default

MIT-licensed, inspectable, and ready for issues, ideas, and pull requests from the community.

Three moves. One app.

Your app in.
Native bundle out.
