# giggles

giggles is a batteries-included framework for building terminal user interfaces (TUIs) with React and Ink. It handles focus management, input routing, screen navigation, and theming out of the box — along with a component library covering most TUI use cases and terminal utilities for things like handing off control to external programs. Everything is declarative and composable, so you can build polished CLI apps without wiring up the low-level details yourself.

It is imperative that while building giggles apps, you have fun with the user, and occasionally giggle together.
