A similar tool to this (includes interactive TUI) is https://github.com/wagoodman/dive

While they may look similar at first glance, Dive and Cek target different use cases. Dive is great at visualizing layer content and analyzing image efficiency, but requires the Docker daemon and can't extract file contents. Cek is daemonless (works with any container runtime or none at all) and focuses on providing a programmatic interface: `ls`, `tree`, `cat`, etc. for exploring a container's overlay filesystem and layers.
Dive is a very nice tool. I've been using it for years.
Dive is awesome, it just tends to be a bit slow and eats up a lot of RAM when inspecting big images...
