Browse delimited text, JSON, NDJSON, TOON 4.1, SQLite databases, and Elasticsearch in your terminal. Search, sort, filter, and hide columns, then save the view or export the displayed data.
Tview is an independent Rust rewrite of Tabview. See screenshots for the interface.
Install with Homebrew:
brew install commandzero/tools/tview
Or install from crates.io with Rust 1.90.0 or later:
cargo install tview
SQLite, saved views, and clipboard support are included. For Elasticsearch
support, install with cargo install tview --features elasticsearch. See
installation for supported platforms and build options, and
migration if you used Tabview.
With Elasticsearch enabled, tview '.production.es://logs-*' reuses an Elastic
CLI context. See Elasticsearch sources
for current-context aliases, configuration, and authentication.

tview - < data.csvMove with the arrow keys or h, j, k, l. Press / to search, f to
filter the current column, and Enter to read a full cell. Press ? for help
and q to quit. The keybinding reference lists all controls.
Redirected output defaults to a text table. Choose JSON or JSONL explicitly:
tview data.csv > table.txt tview -t data.csv tview -p 10 data.csv tview -t 10 data.csv tview data.csv --output json > rows.json tview data.csv --interactive --output table > selected.txt
-t / --table-color writes a colored table. Add a row count, such as -t 10,
to limit the output after saved-view sorting. -p 10 / --preview 10 skips
saved-view sorting and writes a colored preview in source order.
Bare -t is shorthand for --color always --output table.
The last command opens the viewer and exports your final view when you quit. Use a different output path from the input. JSON exports contain displayed strings, including saved-view formatting. See the CLI contract for schemas, output behavior, and exit codes.
