Überblick
TUI web browser with CSS, inline image and JavaScript support
Verlauf
Chawan is a Unix-like text-mode web browser and pager that aims to implement modern web standards in a self-contained terminal browser, including CSS, optional inline images, and optional JavaScript.
Chawan is developed primarily in Nim and hosted on SourceHut, with Codeberg listed as another source mirror. The official news archive begins with the 0.2.0 release in June 2025 and shows active 0.3 and 0.4 releases through June 2026.
The official site lists volunteer-maintained stable packages for Alpine Linux, Arch Linux, Debian testing, FreeBSD, Gentoo guru, Homebrew, NixOS, Slackware, and Void Linux, plus unstable packages through AUR, AppImage, Gentoo live ebuild, and Homebrew HEAD. That breadth is unusual for a young terminal browser and makes its packaging story part of the project identity.
The `cha` command opens URLs and files, can act as a pager, supports web, SFTP, FTP, gopher, gemini, file, finger, and spartan browsing, and can dump rendered content when stdout is not a TTY. The config documentation defines the canonical `~/.chawan/config.toml` path and XDG/`CHA_DIR` alternatives.
Chawan is significant to package nerds because it revives the terminal-browser category with modern packaging friction: image protocols, QuickJS, sandboxing, Nim, multiple Unix distributions, and headless rendering all need to be expressed cleanly in distro formulas. It is also interesting as a modern counterpart to older text browsers such as w3m while using newer terminal capabilities.
