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

BackAnt CLI
Let your AI agent create clean, easy to maintain flask backends
BackAnt CLI is an AI-native backend scaffolding tool designed to generate production-ready Flask APIs from a JSON specification or a small set of CLI commands. Its main goal is to reduce the repetitive work involved in setting up layered backend projects by generating key application components automatically rather than forcing developers to assemble them by hand. The tool creates a structured backend architecture that includes routes, services, repositories, models, startup files, Docker Compose configurations, and CI/CD workflows, which makes it especially useful for teams that want consistency across projects. It can scaffold an entire API or extend an existing project by generating a single route or sub-route, so it supports both greenfield development and iterative expansion. BackAnt CLI is also designed to work with coding agents through an MCP server, which allows compatible AI development tools to generate and modify backend code directly from chat-driven workflows. -

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. Designed to keep all search activity local, it combines classic full-text search techniques with modern semantic features such as vector similarity and hybrid ranking so that queries return not just literal matches but conceptually relevant results. Users can organize content into named collections, embed documents for semantic retrieval, and then perform keyword searches, semantic searches, or hybrid natural-language queries to quickly surface the most useful information across all indexed sources. Because the entire system runs on the user’s machine, privacy is preserved and there’s no risk of exposing sensitive content to outside providers. -

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. -
