  • Yes, Peek - an animated GIF recorder is super useful. Almost an example of the perfect GUI--so intuitive, and easy to use.

  • cmus

    Small, fast and powerful console music player for Unix-like operating systems.

  • cmus, a CLI music player. Its damn powerful and uses like 15ish mb of ram. Most responsive shit I've seen in a long time.

  • fish-shell

    The user-friendly command line shell.

  • fish shell. I know you can get most of its features with zsh plugins, but it's just nice to have a shell with syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, easy tabbing through autocompletes, etc. without any configuration needed.

  • community-edition

    Discontinued Free and Open Source messaging and emailing app that combines common web applications into one.

  • Link: https://rambox.app

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

  • I love flameshot but goddamn they need to do something about the button layout and icons.

  • starship

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

  • And Starship! fish + Starship is a great combination.

  • xonsh

    :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.

  • I switched to xonsh so I can just use Python for 95% of things, and then regress to bash for the other 5% with perfect integration.

  • cmusfm

    Last.fm standalone scrobbler for the cmus music player

  • I've been using this for years: https://github.com/Arkq/cmusfm
