Turn a Node.js CLI script into a desktop form. Inputs, a Run button, and live output. The original file is unchanged.
The window is a windowd app. The first launch downloads about 200 MB of NW.js. --build writes a reusable windowd folder, not an installer.

Requires Node.js 20+. Expect a one-time NW.js download on the first window.
npx gui4cli my-script.js
Or globally:
npm install -g gui4cli
gui4cli my-script.js
A folder works too: gui4cli . --entry bin/cli.js.
--help are fallbacks)--json prints the form and exits (CI, no GUI)--build writes a reusable windowd folder that wraps the original script in place (no .exe, no rewrite)Optional overrides: gui4cli.config.js or gui4cli.json next to the script. Flags: CLI.
pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm exec tsx src/cli.ts fixtures/resize.js --json
pnpm dev
pnpm dev opens the Commander fixture. The first windowd launch may download the NW.js runtime (~200 MB). If the window flashes and closes, run from a normal terminal, not Cursor's JavaScript Debug Terminal.
Site (FilePress): pnpm site:dev (LocalSlip gui4cli-site on 5201). Redeploy: pnpm ship.
