Iris TUI is an open-source terminal dashboard and harness for monitoring and managing coding agent sessions, developed by itzenata and distributed as a Rust binary via Cargo. Operating directly in the terminal via a text user interface (TUI) and complementary CLI commands like `iris ls`, Iris aggregates active and past agent sessions into an organized overview. It gives developers real-time visibility into session lifecycles, execution states, and token consumption metrics. A key differentiator for Iris TUI is its built-in session-level and aggregated cost estimation. The interface calculates and displays live estimated costs across all visible sessions based on per-tier pricing models, allowing developers running multiple local or headless agent workflows to track expenses without navigating external web consoles. Iris TUI is available as open-source software on GitHub and can be compiled and installed natively through Cargo via crates.io.
