sc-im is a curses-based spreadsheet program for the terminal. It allows users to create, edit, and manipulate spreadsheet data directly from the command line. Its features include cell editing, formula support, basic charting capabilities, and the ability to import and export data in various formats such as CSV.

sc-im is particularly useful for tasks that do not require a graphical user interface (GUI) and where quick data analysis or manipulation in a terminal environment is preferred. It's lightweight and resource-efficient, making it suitable for use on systems with limited resources or where a GUI is not available. It’s an improved version of sc, the spreadsheet calculator, aiming for better functionality and maintainability.

sc-im is primarily a text-based tool, therefore some advanced spreadsheet features found in GUI applications may not be available. Charts will be text based.

sc-im supports various data formats including comma-separated values (CSV), which allows for easy import and export of data from other applications.
It can also export to LaTeX format

sc-im supports a range of mathematical and statistical functions that can be used in formulas. These functions allow for performing calculations on cell values and creating complex models.

sc-im is a reimplementation and improvement upon the original sc spreadsheet calculator. sc was originally written a long time ago and development stalled. sc-im attempts to address the shortcomings of the original program and continue its functionality.
