Terminal UI

Run moin in a repo. The terminal UI is for the daily work: see what runs, deploy, read the logs, roll back, back up and restore, change env vars, check domains, uptime and metrics, run a command. Everything updates live, and nothing waits for a spinner: moin starts with what it showed last time, marked last seen in the header until the control plane answers a moment later, and an app you come back to shows its tabs at once while they load again. It keeps that in your cache folder, readable only by you, without env values, logs or the token; moin logout removes it. Setup you do once, like billing, the team or a new server, opens the web app in your browser. Where things work lists what each place can do.

Without a token, moin signs you in first: it shows a code, opens the browser to confirm it and lands on the dashboard. It saves the token where moin login does, so you sign in once for both. esc quits the sign-in.

Moving around

Every view fills the screen, from 80 by 24 up. The header says where you are, the footer the keys you need most there, and results and errors: a result for a few seconds, an error in red a little longer.

• space opens the menu. It lists every action of the place you are in, grouped, each with one key: space a s opens the app shop, space R redeploys the open app. backspace goes up a level, esc closes it.
• space space searches, like the leader key of LazyVim or Doom Emacs: type a few letters of an app, a server, a view or an action, like shop logs or redeploy api, then enter. The words may come in any order, the letters it matched show bold, and what you picked last comes first. ctrl+k does the same from anywhere, and / everywhere but in the logs.
• esc always goes back one level and closes what is open first. q quits on the dashboard and goes back elsewhere; ctrl+c quits from anywhere.
• ? shows every key of the place you are in, grouped, and the ones that work everywhere; on a small screen ↑ ↓ scroll them.
• ↑ ↓ or j k move, g G go to the first and the last row, pgup pgdown a page.
• The mouse wheel scrolls what the arrows move, and a click on a tab of an app opens it. Hold shift to select text, as in other full-screen apps.

Colour only ever says a status: green live, amber running, red failed, always next to a dot and a word. The TUI reads whether your terminal is dark or light and picks its colours for it. With NO_COLOR set, or in a terminal without colour, it draws in plain text and marks the selected row with ›.

A question like “Stop shop?” waits for y; esc cancels. A restore cannot be undone, so it asks you to type the app’s name first, then enter; you can paste it. A line to type into, like a new env var, takes enter and esc, ctrl+u clears it and ctrl+w deletes the last word. A switch, a paused check or an env var changes on the screen at once; if the control plane refuses it, the footer says why in red and the tab loads what is true again.

Keys

In the web app

These open in the browser from the web app view (w on the dashboard, or space w), signed in as you: add a server, the catalog, the team, connect GitHub, buckets, alert destinations, the data browser, your settings with API tokens and registry logins, and on moin.run your billing. The CLI, the API and MCP reach most of them too; Where things work says which.
