What is Promptberry for Swift?

It's a library for interactive CLI prompts — text, selects, spinners — fixing stdlib's gaps.

How do I install Promptberry in my Swift CLI tool?

Add to Package.swift: .package(url: "https://github.com/promptberry/promptberry"), import Promptberry, use try text(), select(), etc.

Yes — tasks() for sequenced spinners, progress(total:) for bars, all awaitable.

📦 Open Source

Swift CLI tools deserve better than print-and-pray. Promptberry finally makes them feel modern — and usable.
