I use a productivity timer I wrote all the time. It's called Focus.
From my dotfiles ~/bin, I have a few that I use more than once every day:
Notekeeper - I wrote a simple tool for taking notes really quickly on the command line.
https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help to extract help text from builtin commands and man pages, ex:
A tool to watch/download pirated TV Shows and Movies (with Arabic subtitles)… it can be useful for you if you can ignore the subtitles or if you know Arabic
it's all in python, i made it because I was fed up from spotify ads and this idea had been cooking in my mind for a while. the project lives at https://github.com/addyett/Melodine
Wrote a remote control CLI for the Kakoune text editor that I use every day: https://github.com/kkga/kks
xpe - a commandline xpath parser. I made this after trying to use xpaths for web automation in bash, and not finding anything that worked.
ffupdate is a script which will update firefox, either vanilla, beta, nightly, or devedition. I made this because debian does not provide the latest firefox, and downloading and installing firefox by hand, while better than compiling from source, is tedious. This script automates the whole process of installing and updating firefox, and it can also install and update thunderbird. I have since learned that lots of other people wrote scripts to accomplish the same thing, so my scripts get lost in the shuffle in github.
mpd_what is a python script I developed to show the album art, artist, album, and song for music I am listening to with mpd, including (some) internet radio. I made this because I didn't want to have to download and install all the different radio apps for my phone just to maybe see the coverart and info of what they're playing. This script works to enhance one of my other utilities, which is:
mpdstreamplay. mpdstreamplay is just some javascript + html which displays the coverart, artist, album, and song title for the music you're listening to on mpd, and it will stream the music. I made this because the stream function on MPDroid stopped working one day, and I wanted to be able to play my mpd music on my phone, and also see what I was playing.
I also use my mpd scripts a lot, mostly the mpcvol one, for quickly changing the volume of my music.
and I use mpd_musicalarm every weekday. It fades music in using a logarithmic curve, so that it gets louder gently, without causing my heart to race. I've since learned that iphones have this feature built in.
tawk, an awk-like program that uses tcl for the script language and has a CSV parser mode for non-trivial data where just splitting on comma isn't enough to properly handle it.
You can find it here: https://github.com/rifazn/dark-toggle
Most of my tools are in bash or perl, most of them less than 100 lines of code, (most of them are less than 200 even with comments). https://github.com/sitaramc/notes has all of them (terrible name for a repo full of tools I know; sorry!)
i do all my common lisp development in slimv_box.
passphrase2pgp: for storing my PGP and SSH keys in my brain. Neither ever reside in permanent storage.
hastyhex: a fast, color hex dump.
enchive: encrypted personal archive/backup.
qpkg: personal package manager, for managing custom-built packages in ~/.local.
no this is my own script vids,
We squash merge at my work, so I use git-tidy basically every day. It’s the only thing I’ve written in my 10+ years as a dev that I have ever regularly used.
td-cli : a command line todo manager that groups your todos "automatically" based on git repository. Use it everyday to keep me organised: https://github.com/darrikonn/td-cli
cheat : command line tool to personally manage your cheatsheet. I don't use it frequently but every now and then I check on some cheats to refresh my memory: https://github.com/darrikonn/cheat
alfred-nym : an Alfred workflow to search antonyms and synonyms. I use it probably everyday to help me with good variable naming. Thought I wouldn't use it that much: https://github.com/darrikonn/alfred-nym
I write my own cli version of google translate using their chrome extension API that i use daily. gtranslate
Link to my repo
an XKCD 936 password generator and some scripts/aliases/functions around it to provide options for common usage (certain password strength requirements for $DAYJOB, less stringent requirements when I need to make up an answer to website security questions—why of course my first pet was named "weep dangle very pith")
a surprising bit of usage from my wordsearch solver, given a dictionary and puzzle
a file-deduplication utility that hard-links duplicate files to save space (our family photo gallery gets pics put in multiple albums for various audiences, so I can cut down on a lot of duplication with this)
a handful of helper tools around ledger to make it easier to re-issue previous payments (e.g. "pay kroger 31.25" or "checking" to get the info on my checking account ledger, etc)
a dumb utility that scripts xdotool. I position the mouse in location A, launch my script with dmenu, enter a number N, move my mouse to location B, and hit Enter. It then clicks on location A, moves to location B and clicks there, and does it N times. It saves me hours of tedious clicking across several applications.
I regularly use my smenu (https://github.com/p-gen/smenu) tool in my interactive scripts.
I've also written a script that installs/updates ProtonGE for you in the past, which was my first real attempt at learning bashscripting and even got semi popular. I've had several plans to implement in a newer version (and even implemented a few) but I never got around to it. Lately I've been thinking about picking it up again tho.
Every day I use a terminal radio called Tera to listen to music.
Gitstart to create a Git repo.
Manop to check man pages and options.
Cleanit can set a cron job to clean up Downloads and Trash directories for older than 20 days.
connect — a simple ZSH wrapper around autossh and tmux for a persistent connection to a server. I use a laptop, so it's nice to have it automatically reconnect after sleeping or changing Wi-Fi.
