Instagram CLI

Instagram CLI is a minimal, fast, keyboard-native way to stay connected without getting cooked by social media.

Instagram: the app you open to send one message… and suddenly 30 minutes are gone. We all know the cycle — and we finally had enough.

What if Instagram had a quick fix? A productivity-friendly mode that keeps your connections, but gives your attention span a fighting chance?

Instead of quitting social media (yeah right) or pretending we’ll use it “mindfully,” we built something different: A distraction-free way to chat with friends and view stories — right from your terminal.

No algorithm traps. No reel vortex. No dopamine casino. Just conversations and updates, on your terms.

• Chat without distractions — no feed, no reels, no algorithm.
• Stay connected with stories and selected feeds — only when you choose.
• Use your keyboard for everything — built for developers, not casual scrollers.
• Run it anywhere — VSCode, your terminal, or even a Linux server.
• Enjoy TUI life — clean, simple, fast.
