spectatui – manage projects built with GitHub Spec-Kit

spectatui is a terminal dashboard for managing projects built with GitHub Spec-Kit. It provides a central interface for tracking features, reading specifications, managing integrations, and monitoring AI-assisted development workflows.

spectatui watches the project’s specs/ and .specify/ directories and automatically refreshes when files change. Its multi-pane interface includes specification browsing, workflow progress, agent output, extension management, configurable layouts, themes, and mouse support.

This is free and open source software.
