    - **Name**: The name of the Bluetooth device, if available.

    - **TX Power**: The transmission power level, indicating the strength at which the device is broadcasting its signal.

    - **RSSI**: Received Signal Strength Indicator, a measure of the power present in the received signal, indicating how close or far the device is.

- Interactive UI: The terminal-based user interface allows users to scroll through the list of discovered devices, providing an easy way to browse and select devices of interest.

- Keyboard Navigation: Supports simple keyboard controls for navigation:

    - **Up/Down Arrows**: Scroll through the list of devices.

    - **Q**: Quit the application.

    - **S**: Toggle scanning.
