  1. btop

    A monitor of resources

    FYI btop is a C++ version and continuation of bashtop and bpytop.

  3. ripgrep-all

    rga: ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, etc.

    I found ripgrep-all if you haven’t heard of it, check it out

  4. nethogs

    Linux 'net top' tool

    Ngrep is ok, I just use nethogs, nmap and tcpick, and tcpdump with termshark for most network analysis

  5. fd

    A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

    I find fd a bit easier to use on finding files, and ag for a grep clone, but I haven’t used ripgrep in a bit, will recheck

  6. the_silver_searcher

    A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.

    I find fd a bit easier to use on finding files, and ag for a grep clone, but I haven’t used ripgrep in a bit, will recheck

  7. awesome-tuis

    List of projects that provide terminal user interfaces

    Here's a good list

  8. tig

    Text-mode interface for git

    Have you heard of tig for git? I use that

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  10. tidy-viewer

    📺(tv) Tidy Viewer is a cross-platform CLI csv pretty printer that uses column styling to maximize viewer enjoyment.

    I work with data a lot so I use the sqlite cli. I also made tv (self-promotion) to view csvs.

  11. visidata

    A terminal spreadsheet multitool for discovering and arranging data

    Have you heard of Visidata

  12. lsd

    The next gen ls command

    Prefer lsd because it can calculate folder sizes

  13. Task

    A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go

    More cli than tui but have recently discovered task and have been madly replacing .any of my Makefiles and various scripts with it.

  14. Invoke

    Pythonic task management & command execution.

    Ahh. Will give it a go then. Also, if you are interested in writing the config in Python, checkout invoke. I find it a bit more flexible as you can change/tweak the sequence based on environments.

  15. RSS2EMail

    open-source tool for Windows, Mac OS and UNIX for getting news from RSS feeds in email (by wking)

    as a twist on this, I like rss2email which drops my RSS feeds in my inbox, letting me use my existing MUA (no new keyboard commands to learn, syncs read-/deleted-state across machine via IMAP, works with multiple clients, etc).

  16. beancount

    Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files.

    for the CLI rather than TUI, I'll give a shoutout to ledger (which is what I use, but hledger and beancount are also good choices) for my /r/plaintextaccounting needs, and I use remind for my calendaring. I've seen some TUIs built atop them (I've tinkered with wyrd for remind and have seen some ledgerlike TUIs, but not tried them), but find that I prefer just a CLI and text-editor

  17. hledger

    Robust, fast, intuitive plain text accounting tool with CLI, TUI and web interfaces.

    for the CLI rather than TUI, I'll give a shoutout to ledger (which is what I use, but hledger and beancount are also good choices) for my /r/plaintextaccounting needs, and I use remind for my calendaring.

  18. wyrd

    Discontinued Improvements to the Wyrd curses front-end to Remind. Now moved to GitLab. (by haguenau)

  19. tcpick

  20. termshark

    A terminal UI for tshark, inspired by Wireshark

  21. btop4win

    btop++ for windows

    btop4win link - for those interested
