DatabaseConsistency is a tool to avoid various issues due to inconsistencies and inefficiencies between a database schema and application models.
Many of us can face issues working with ActiveRecord due to its inconsistency with the database schema. That's why I have built database_consistency, which can help you avoid the most common issues and improve your application's performance.

What was the name of the gem that finds all unindexed foreign keys?

A gem that's pretty useful alongside this one is the annotation gem -- it prefixes models with their specific schema dump (as comments) and then updates those descriptive comments on migration. It's one of my go-to gems to install when I rotate onto a new-to-me Rails project (or start a new one) and I'm working to understand the data model.

The database and migrations work is annoying me the most about Rails as a newcomer, am I missing something?

I get it, though. Sounds like you're used to seeing every column definition in there. And that would be handy. There is a gem that you might like: https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models
