ringophone

ringo is a terminal SIP softphone built on baresip, with a full ratatui TUI. It manages multiple accounts side by side — each with its own profile, call history and configuration — while keeping baresip running headless in the background.

It’s part of the ringo workspace; the crate is ringo-phone, the binary is ringo.

Features

  • Profile picker — fuzzy-search selector with inline create / edit / clone / delete.
  • Headless baresip — spawns baresip without its stdio UI; no terminal clutter.
  • ratatui TUI — status bar, command bar (: with tab-completion), Normal/Dial split, call list, DTMF, hold/resume, mute.
  • Contact book — TOML contacts with fuzzy number matching and $EDITOR editing.
  • Blind & attended transfer with a contact picker.
  • Call history (per-profile, redial) and dial history (global, Ctrl+R).
  • MWI message-waiting indicator.
  • Theming — every UI color configurable, with ready-made themes.
  • Remote control — drive a running session from another terminal or a script.
  • Multiple instances — each profile gets its own dynamically assigned port.
