    DB Browser for SQLite

    DB Browser for SQLite

    The DB Browser for SQLite

    DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite. DB4S is for users and developers who want to create, search, and edit databases. DB4S uses a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, and complicated SQL commands do not have to be learned. This program is not a visual shell for the sqlite command line tool, and does not require familiarity with SQL commands. It is a tool to be used by both developers and end users, and must remain as simple to use as possible in order to achieve these goals. Import and export records as text, import and export tables from/to CSV files, import and export databases from/to SQL dump files, issue SQL queries and inspect the results, examine a log of all SQL commands issued by the application, plot simple graphs based on table or query data.

    pdfsandwich generates "sandwich" OCR pdf files, i.e. pdf files which contain only images (but no editable text) will be processed by optical character recognition (OCR) and the text will be added to each page invisibly "behind" the images. pdfsandwich is a command line tool which is supposed to be useful to OCR scanned books or journals. It is able to recognize the page layout even for multicolumn text. Essentially, pdfsandwich is a wrapper script which calls the following binaries: convert, unpaper, tesseract, gs, and hocr2pdf (if tesseract < 3.03). It is known to run on Unix systems and has been tested on Linux and MacOS X. It supports parallel processing on multiprocessor systems. In contrast to most competing sandwich programs, it performs preprocessing of the scanned images, such as de-skewing or removal of dark edges etc. For further information please read the manual: http://www.tobias-elze.de/pdfsandwich/index.html

    Obsidian Skills

    Agent skills for Obsidian

    Obsidian-Skills is a repository of agent skills tailored for use with Obsidian and any Claude-compatible agent that follows the standard Agent Skills specification, enabling AI assistants to better understand and interact with Obsidian content. These skills are markdown-driven specifications that teach Claude Code (or similar agents) how to perform context-aware tasks within Obsidian’s unique environment, such as interpreting different file types and workflows, automating workflows tied to notes, or enhancing agent responses with structured knowledge. By providing formal descriptions of patterns, conventions, and workflows common to Obsidian users, the skills empower AI tools to give more relevant suggestions, generate content that adheres to user conventions, or execute complex multi-step operations that respect the knowledge graph and file relationships.

    codemaxxed

    codemaxxed

    CLI tool purpose-built to generate the maximum possible lines of code

    codemaxxed is a deliberately experimental and satirical project that generates massive amounts of code automatically to explore and critique the idea of measuring productivity through lines of code. The repository continuously grows through automated workflows that generate new files and commits at regular intervals, resulting in extremely large codebases with minimal functional value. It is built using the companion tool “codemaxxing,” which allows users to control parameters such as the number of lines generated, the level of randomness, and the speed of generation. The project intentionally produces nonsensical or low-quality code, including exaggerated naming patterns and redundant structures, to highlight the absurdity of equating quantity with quality in software engineering. It serves more as a conceptual or artistic experiment than a practical tool, illustrating how metrics can be gamed in modern development environments.

    GeoIP

    GeoIP

    This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats

    GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb.

    InkOS

    InkOS

    Autonomous novel writing CLI AI Agent

    InkOS is a multi-agent creative writing system designed to automate the production of long-form narrative content such as novels through coordinated AI workflows. The system organizes multiple specialized agents that collaborate in stages, including drafting, reviewing, editing, and refining text, with optional human checkpoints to ensure quality and coherence. Its architecture reflects a pipeline approach where each agent contributes a specific function, allowing iterative improvement rather than single-pass generation. This design makes it particularly suited for complex storytelling tasks that require consistency, tone management, and structural planning across long outputs. The platform likely incorporates feedback loops where agents critique and revise each other’s work, simulating editorial processes found in traditional publishing. It emphasizes scalability, enabling users to generate large volumes of narrative content with minimal manual intervention.

    aws-cli

    aws-cli

    Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services

    The AWS CLI is the universal command-line interface for managing AWS services, automating tasks, and scripting cloud workflows. It exposes nearly every public API from EC2 and S3 to IAM, Lambda, and beyond, providing parity with the service SDKs in a tool you can run anywhere. Profiles, regions, single-sign-on, and credential helpers make it straightforward to switch contexts securely across accounts and environments. Its output controls and JMESPath querying let you slice, filter, and transform JSON responses directly in the shell, which is essential for automation. Waiters, paginators, and retries handle long-running or large list operations cleanly so scripts are resilient. The CLI’s stability and extensive documentation make it a cornerstone for CI/CD, incident response, and day-to-day operations.

    jdbc2csv.jar

    Command-line sql JDBC tool

    jdbc2csv is a small command-line tool written in JAVA and can be used on all platforms, for which JRE 8 or higher is available. To connect to a specific DBMS the tool uses its JDBC driver. The result of the executed 'select' query is displayed in CSV format ( different standards are supported ). When there is an error the tool stops with exit code 1 and the error message is output on stderr. jdbc2csv is created with a main purpose to be used in shell-scripts. Relatively easy to configurate, this tool is suitable for queries ‘select’, ‘update’ and ‘delete’. I think that is not suitable for a large number of requests, like 'insert'.

    QMD

    QMD

    mini cli search engine for your docs, knowledge bases, etc.

    QMD is a powerful and lightweight command-line tool that acts as an on-device search engine for your personal knowledge base, allowing you to index and search files like Markdown notes, meeting transcripts, technical documentation, and other text collections without depending on cloud services.
