Rust CLI and TUI tools worth installing
Fast, single-binary command-line tools written in Rust - covering git, logs, sandboxes, code intelligence, and terminal workflows.
Rust has eaten a particular slice of the CLI ecosystem: tools where startup time, single-binary distribution, and memory predictability all matter at once. The selection below isn't random Rust trivia - it's the entries in this directory where Rust meaningfully changes how the tool feels in daily use (serie, taskwarrior-tui, cup) or where it's the right substrate for what the tool is doing (zerobox, obscura, qartez-mcp).
Amazon Q Developer CLI
Agentic chat for the terminal - natural-language workflows wired into shell, MCP servers, and AWS tooling. Linux/macOS native, Rust binary.
Destructive Command Guard
Rust CLI that blocks dangerous git and shell commands before an agent can run them. Pattern-matched safety net for autonomous coding agents.
Zerobox - process sandboxing on the Codex runtime
Lightweight, cross-platform process sandbox in Rust. Wraps any command with file, network, and credential controls - built on OpenAI Codex's runtime primitives.
serie - rich git commit graph in your terminal
Ratatui-based TUI that draws a clean, magic-feeling commit graph from any repo. Faster to read than `git log --graph`, easier to navigate than tig.
taskwarrior-tui
Rust TUI front-end for Taskwarrior with vim-style keybindings, fuzzy search, and live filtering. Makes Taskwarrior usable for daily task review.
cup - Docker container update checker
Tiny Rust CLI plus React UI that scans your running containers and tells you which images have updates available. Zero-config, no agent on the host.
PyApp - runtime installer for Python applications
Wrap any Python project as a single Rust binary that bootstraps its interpreter on first run. Distribute Python tools without asking users to manage envs.
