otrproxy is in fact specifically written to have a clear separation
between functionality and UI, exactly so someone could write a
text-based (ncurses?) front end.  Someone just has to volunteer to do
it.  [If someone does, we can give them help if needed, but there are no
spare cycles for us to do it ourselves just at the moment.]
