+
+SysctlTUI is an interactive text user interface (TUI) utility for exploring and managing man:sysctl[3] parameters.
+It presents the sysctl Management Information Base (MIB) as a hierarchical and navigable tree, enabling users to:
+
+- Browse metadata for each kernel parameter.
+- Retrieve and display current values.
+- Modify parameters interactively from within the interface.
+
+The UI consists of three panes: a tree view of the MIB hierarchy, a detail pane showing metadata, and a value editor.
+Pressing the F1 key opens a help dialog explaining:
+
+- When the MIB is built.
+- When values are retrieved or updated.
+- A link to an online guide for getting started with sysctl, including guidance on interpreting and using the displayed data.
+
+Although still in early development (currently at version 0.0.2), SysctlTUI already offers functionality comparable to tools like package:sysutils/nsysctl[] and package:deskutils/sysctlview[].
+A manual page is included, with suggestions to make the output similar to man:sysctl[8] or man:nsysctl[8].
+The ToDo list outlining plans for enhancements like configuration file integration and subtree sorting by names.
+
+SysctlTUI is open source and available via the FreeBSD Ports Collection: package:sysutils/sysctltui[].
+Note: TUIs are a known accessibility issue, as they are not usable with most screen readers.
+Users who access FreeBSD using a screen reader can use the package:sysutils/nsysctl[] package instead.
+It is a command line utility that provides the same information as SysctlTUI, since both tools use the same underlying kernel interface.
