Every terminal below was rendered by HQTUI itself when this page was built. The two images are the original design targets from the product requirements — the live frames are what the library actually produces.
Dashboard
Grid layout, Braille area graphs, segmented meters, a zebra-striped table and a function-key status bar.

Real-time telemetry
The reference dashboard goes well past CPU and memory. Every screen below is reading a real machine.
traffic
TrafficEvery protocol in and out of the host: socket breakdown, TCP counters with retransmit rate, live HTTP request tracking from access logs, and sshd auth events.
network
NetworkPer-interface throughput graphs with totals and error counts, open connections with owning processes, and every listening port.
sessions
SessionsWho is logged in right now, login history from wtmp, failed attempts from btmp, and process state breakdown.
services
Servicessystemd units with failures first, containers, kernel counters, and filesystems with inode usage.
Widgets
Meters, gauges, donuts, controls, a process tree, multi-series graphs, heat bars and a log viewer.
components
Themes
The same panel, four palettes. Colour quantizes automatically when the terminal cannot do truecolor.

Design targets
The quality bar the library was written against.
Reference dashboardCPU with per-core meters, memory and swap, disks with throughput history, a live network graph, the process table, temperatures, sensors and a tailing log — all on one screen.Component showcasePanels, gauges, tables, trees, dialogs, log viewers, sparklines, theme previews and keyboard command bars, in the density a real monitoring tool needs.
Run it yourself
The reference dashboard reads real metrics on Linux, macOS and Windows, or runs a deterministic simulation.
