User interface, often abbreviated as UI, formerly called human interface (HI), refers to presentational and interactive design elements of potentially any tool, but usually electronic tools, specifically their hardware and/or software.

A user interface is also often referred to in context simply as an interface, or implied when used as a compound noun with some user-level concept or object, e.g.:

• post and posting interface
• edit and editing interface
• comment and commenting interface
• admin and admin interface
