Open-source terminal applications

Terminal applications, drawn with care.

Quvyta is an ecosystem of programs for the terminal, all built on one Rust framework. They share their themes, icons, languages, keys and mouse behaviour, and every shape on screen comes from colour, never from boxes drawn with characters.

Meet qcode Build with qframe Install
qcode with a workspace open: a shell tab beside two agent tabs, and the side panel with the workspace's files, its details and its containers

Coding agents in containers

qcode quvyta-code

Set up an agent once, sign it in, and open it in any of your workspaces in a few seconds. You move between agents and shells the way you move between tabs, and nothing an agent runs ever runs on your machine itself.

  1. Continue where you stopped

    The home screen brings back the workspaces you had open, with their tabs, even after qcode was closed.

  2. A tab for any agent

    The + after the last tab lists the workspace's shell and, for every profile, a new chat and its latest conversations in this workspace. Choosing one opens the agent where it left off.

  3. The workspace at a glance

    The side panel shows the workspace's details and its containers, which you can stop and restart from there. When the last qcode closes, the containers it started stop too.

  4. A file manager in the tree

    The file tree makes, renames, cuts, pastes, deletes and drags, on several entries at once, and follows the disk as files change.

  5. Files open in tabs

    Markdown is shown as a formatted page, text opens in nano or vim and pictures are drawn by chafa, inside the workspace's own container.

A new tab offering a shell and each profile's earlier conversations, newest first
The side panel with the workspace's details and its containers, running and stopped
Three files selected in the file tree, with the menu that cuts or deletes them
The workspace's README read as a formatted Markdown page in a tab of its own

A Rust framework for terminal applications

qframe quvyta-framework

The runtime, widgets, themes, icons and language files every Quvyta program is made of, open for anyone building for the terminal. Pick a theme and the same components take its colours.

Theme
The showcase in the Iris theme, on the same dashboard: a CPU sparkline, resource meters, a bar per service, status badges and a big clock
Iris: Quvyta's own colours, and this site's.
The showcase in the Nordic theme, on the same dashboard: a CPU sparkline, resource meters, a bar per service, status badges and a big clock
Nordic: cool blues.
The showcase in the Amber theme, on the same dashboard: a CPU sparkline, resource meters, a bar per service, status badges and a big clock
Amber: warm tones throughout.
The showcase in the Monochrome theme, on the same dashboard: a CPU sparkline, resource meters, a bar per service, status badges and a big clock
Monochrome: greys throughout, colour kept only for status.

The rest of the ecosystem

The rest of the ecosystem, made the same way.

Each is a program of its own, with its own page. All of them look and behave alike, because all of them are built on the framework.

  • qfocus counting an hour and a quarter on a focus, with the day's work in a strip above

    qfocus

    Tracks what you focus on. Start a counter on one of your focuses and see where your time went in day, week, month and year charts.

    cargo install quvyta-focus

  • qpac's store page, with popular apps and popular AUR packages as cards and the kinds of software on the left

    qpac

    A package manager for Arch Linux that feels like an app store: one search across the repositories, the AUR and Flatpak, and every change shown before it happens.

    cargo install quvyta-packages

  • qtools showing the Packages group, with one item selected and its detail beside the list

    qtools

    The settings Arch Linux users usually make by hand, from one list, each with a preview, a backup and an undo.

    cargo install quvyta-tools

  • quvyta listing the Quvyta apps: what is installed, which version, and one update waiting

    quvyta

    Installs Quvyta apps, opens the ones you have and keeps them up to date, showing every cargo command before it runs.

    cargo install quvyta

Nine languages

In your language, and in ours.

Every word on screen comes from a language file, not from the code. qframe, qcode, qfocus, qpac, qtools and quvyta speak all nine, and so does this site.

How they are made

One look, one set of keys, in every app.

  • Shape from colour

    Buttons, tabs and panels are tones and spacing. No brackets, no boxes drawn with lines; a half-cell bar marks what is selected.

  • Mouse and keyboard are equal

    Everything the keyboard can do, the mouse can do too, and both answer as soon as they touch something.

  • Three kinds of glyphs

    Every screen is designed for Nerd Font, plain Unicode and ASCII terminals alike.

  • Your language

    Every word on screen lives in a language file, and the language, theme and icon set you pick in quvyta hold in every Quvyta app.
