JTTui is a Ruby library for text mode user interfaces based on the curses library. It should work on most Unix-like systems. Because this library is written in Ruby, it follows the object paradigm in the native Ruby way. It contains widgets like dialogs, buttons, checkboxes, listboxes, and trees. The licence is the same as Ruby, allowing use of the GNU GPL or one less restrictive.
