RETUI CLI Launcher

Re:T-UI is a command-line Android launcher that replaces the usual icon grid with a fast, keyboard-first terminal home screen.

Type app names to launch them, run useful commands, create aliases, build widgets, and customize your entire launcher from one focused interface.

CORE FEATURES

• Launch apps and actions from a terminal-style prompt
• Create aliases for frequently used commands
• Browse apps through a searchable terminal drawer
• Use smart suggestions and quick-action buttons
• Organize different setups with launcher Spaces
• Customize fonts, colors, presets, borders, ASCII art, and wallpaper-aware themes
• View and manage notifications in a themed terminal panel
• Use built-in tools for notes, timers, Pomodoro sessions, reminders, music, weather, and more
• Add native, Lua, or Termux-backed modules to your launcher
• Create local Lua widgets and focused terminal-style apps
• Connect Termux scripts, commands, callbacks, and tmux workspaces
• Edit advanced configuration files directly when you want deeper control

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW

Re:T-UI learns the vocabulary you choose. Create short aliases, pin important actions, group apps, and turn repeated tasks into commands that feel natural to type.

The launcher works well as a simple command-driven home screen, but it can also grow into a personalized Android workstation with modules, widgets, automation, and Termux integration.

DEEP CUSTOMIZATION

Choose a preset or build your own visual identity using custom colors, fonts, terminal borders, wallpapers, ASCII headers, suggestion styles, and layout settings.

Re:T-UI is designed to feel personal rather than looking like another generic grid of icons.

TERMUX INTEGRATION

Re:T-UI is an Android home-screen launcher, not a replacement for a full Linux terminal emulator.

Optional Termux integration lets you keep Linux tools and scripts inside Termux while using Re:T-UI as the launcher, command router, module surface, and shortcut layer.

PRIVACY AND LOCAL CONTROL

Launcher settings, aliases, modules, widgets, and customization data are stored locally on your device. Optional Android permissions are requested only when you use features that require them.

WHO IS RE:T-UI FOR?

Re:T-UI is made for people who want:

• A CLI launcher for Android
• A terminal-style home screen
• Fast keyboard-driven app launching
• Deep visual customization
• Local widgets and automation
• Termux-friendly workflows
• A launcher with personality

If you would rather type a command than search through pages of icons, Re:T-UI is built for you.

The Play Store edition is the official stable release and the simplest way to receive polished updates while supporting continued development.

Recent changes:
- Terminal output now triggers screen refreshes through a persistent tmux connection, removing periodic screen polling.
- Termux continues running shells and jobs. The existing launcher terminal tiles, input controls, fonts, themes and split layouts remain in use.
- Improved Unicode paste, colors and cursor restoration after resize/reconnect, with safer handling of closed panes and disconnected clients.
