Here are 15 of my absolute favorite terminal applications and utilities! These are simply the best of the best, in my opinion.
- bulletty
Beautiful and well designed RSS/Atom News reader that is easy to use.
https://github.com/CrociDB/bulletty - castero
Podcast Client. The best way to listen to podcasts while getting some work done.
https://github.com/xgi/castero - youtube-tui
YouTube Client. It’s crazy we can browse YouTube. Requires the mpv or videolan video player. Would be cool if they integrated the player into the app.
https://github.com/Siriusmart/youtube-tui - aerc
Easy to configure and use email client. It may not as powerful as NeoMutt, but it’s top notch if you simply need a fast email client.
https://aerc-mail.org/ - calcurse
Calendar/Event management done right. Can be tricky to get some calendar services setup, but once you do, this is fast and efficient.
https://www.calcurse.org/ - caligula
Disk imaging/USB burner. Replaced Balena Etcher for me. Way faster and has never failed me.
https://github.com/ifd3f/caligula - fresh
Text Editor reminiscent of the early nineties programmer text editors I once used, but with more features.
https://getfresh.dev/ - kew
Blazingly fast music player. If you just want to listen to your local music collection, this is the way to go.
https://github.com/ravachol/kew - pyradio
Internet Radio Player. Search and add stations, simple to use, and just works.
https://github.com/coderholic/pyradio - duf
Disk usage information right at your fingertips.
https://github.com/muesli/duf - yazi
File Manager similar to ranger and the likes. I find this to be superfast and opens all my documents, including ebooks with a little config.
https://yazi-rs.github.io/ - traur
Arch AUR Security Tool. All I can say,this is an amazing tool. You can check the safety of AUR packages installed or not. When updates come in it will also provide information on AUR updates.
https://github.com/Sohimaster/traur - pass
Password Manager that is easy to use that stays out of your way.
https://www.passwordstore.org/ - lazyjournal
Linux log viewer for systemd, audit, docker, etc. You name it, it does it. Great search features.
https://github.com/Lifailon/lazyjournal - btop
System monitor/information that simply looks awesome. Everything you need to monitor your system right in the terminal.
