We built Instagram CLI, a terminal-based Instagram chat client that lets you send messages, reply, react, and handle media—all without touching the app. No distractions, no algorithm, just messages.
GitHub:
PyPI:
You can install directly with pip install instagram-cli, works well on Linux/MacOS and also functional on Windows.
Features:
- A minimalist terminal UI built with the classic UNIX curses library.
- Full support for DMs, including multimedia, replies, and reactions.
- VIM-style navigation for a 100% keyboard-driven experience.
- LaTeX rendering, message scheduling, and other power user commands.
- Brainrot Shield (coming soon!) to filter out engagement traps.
- Smart utilities like brainrot analytics and notifications.
Why we built this
We aim to give back control of social media to the user instead of accepting whatever content the platform wants us to see, while preserving its core function as a social networking tool.
Would love to hear feedback and feature requests!
