smenu

Flexible terminal menu generator and CLI selection tool for interactive or scripting use.

Desktopfreeglobal

A flexible terminal menu generator that reads words from standard input and presents them as an interactive selection prompt for use in scripts or at the shell. It addresses the lack of a standard Unix filter for piping option lists into an interactive chooser and is aimed at shell script authors and sysadmins who need a terminal-only, self-hosted selection tool; it is available under the MPL-2.0 license.
