How to interface with NUART from PC?

nRF devices have a proprietary service called Nordic UART which provides a similar functionality to SPP (Serial Port Profile) of Bluetooth Classic but over BLE.  
Now, for SPP over BL Classic, we could just use a normal serial terminal like PuTTY or minicom and consider the link a serial device.  
Problem is, we can't do that with NUART.   

1- How to interface to a NUART link (which is over BLE) from host? (Specifically a GNU/Linux PC)  

2- Nordic has an Android app which is quite comprehensive in functionalities: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en&gl=US
Adafruit has a similar one which IMO has a better UART mode handling: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adafruit.bluefruit.le.connect&hl=en&gl=US
But for PC side with GNU/Linux or Windows, I don't find any similar apps!  Is there a program or any scripts?  

Note that I'm not looking for any HW solutions like dongles and such. I have a BLE node (nRF52832) transmitting data over NUART (BLE) and I want to send/receive/watch data on my terminal on Linux (or a program).
