nettui is a terminal user interface for managing both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections from a single application.
It provides separate panels for wireless and wired networking, supports tasks such as connecting to networks, toggling autoconnect, renewing DHCP leases, and managing hidden SSIDs, and is designed to work with Linux systems using iwd and systemd-networkd. The project is primarily aimed at Omarchy setups, but can also be used on other Linux distributions with the same networking stack.
This is free and open source software.
