C-Menu is a fast, modular toolkit for building terminal-based user interfaces on Linux. Its components can be combined to create responsive menus, forms, pick lists, viewers, file-finding workflows, and administrative tools without the overhead of a heavyweight GUI stack.

Written in C and designed for speed, C-Menu works well for developer tools, system administration workflows, kiosk-style interfaces, and resource-constrained environments.
