cloctui

cloctui [path] [-f]

cloctui is a terminal user interface wrapper around the cloc (Count Lines of Code) tool. Instead of displaying raw text output, cloctui presents CLOC's analysis results in an interactive table that can be sorted and browsed, making it particularly useful for large codebases.Features include multiple grouping modes (by programming language, by directory, or as individual files), column sorting by clicking table headers or using keyboard shortcuts, and dual display modes (inline or fullscreen).

path

Directory path to analyze with CLOC. If omitted, usage instructions are displayed.

Run in fullscreen mode instead of the default inline mode.

Requires cloc to be separately installed on the system; cloctui is only a frontend, not a standalone code analyzer. Requires Python 3.10 or later. Many of CLOC's native options are not yet exposed through the TUI.

cloctui was created by Edward Jazzhands and published in August 2025. Its core CLOC-wrapping functionality was adapted from Stefano Stone's pycloc project, with the addition of a Textual-based TUI. The project is MIT-licensed and written in Python.
