Stunt is a terminal-based software application published by keathmilligan that provides a TUI (text user interface) for managing tunnels and port-forwarding. Rather than requiring users to compose and remember command-line invocations for each connection, stunt presents these operations through an interactive interface rendered directly in the terminal, making it suited to workflows where administrators and developers regularly establish, monitor, or tear down network tunnels. The software falls within the networking and developer tools category, specifically addressing the tunnel and port-forwarding management niche, where tasks such as exposing a local service to a remote machine, forwarding remote ports to a local environment, or maintaining several simultaneous forwarded connections are common. Use cases include day-to-day development work that depends on forwarded ports to reach databases, APIs, or services in restricted environments, as well as system administration scenarios in which tunnels are created frequently enough that a dedicated management interface saves time and reduces configuration errors. Because the interface is text-based, the tool can run in terminal emulators and remote shell sessions without a graphical environment, which aligns it with other lightweight command-line-oriented utilities favored by operators working over SSH or in minimal environments. The current version of stunt is 0.5.1, and the catalog records two versions in total, indicating a modest release history in which the software remains under early development with a pre-1.0 version number. Users evaluating the tool should therefore treat it as an actively evolving project whose feature set and behavior may continue to change between releases. As a purpose-built interface focused on a single operational concern, stunt occupies a focused position in the catalog: it does not attempt to be a general network management suite, but instead concentrates on making the routine management of tunnels and port-forwarding more approachable from within a terminal session.
