tmux
tmux is a terminal multiplexer
tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. tmux depends on libevent 2.x, and on ncurses. To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed. Some platforms provide binary packages for tmux. -

portless
Replace port numbers with stable, named .localhost URLs
portless is an open source developer tool that replaces traditional localhost port numbers with stable, human-readable .localhost URLs, simplifying local development workflows for both humans and AI agents. Instead of managing multiple numeric ports and dealing with conflicts, developers can assign named local endpoints that remain consistent across sessions and services. The project is especially useful in multi-service environments where remembering and coordinating port assignments becomes cumbersome. By automating routing and naming, Portless reduces cognitive overhead and improves clarity when running several applications simultaneously. It is implemented in TypeScript and designed to integrate smoothly into modern JavaScript and Next.js development setups. -

PHP File Manager
phpFileManager a complete filesystem management tool on a single file.
phpFileManager is a complete filesystem management tool on a single file. A server administration tool using PHP, meant for rapid file access, and also to verify the server configuration and security. The script can be renamed and deployed on an unique known url, and offers password protection.. All dependencies, like images, js and css files, are included inside the same file, so that the script can run even on offline devices, like a local Raspberry Pi, or ESP32 microcontroller. The size of the script is bellow 1Mb, and i want to make it even smaller. To conclude, this script is also a repository of several hand made functions, organized in sections, meant for learning PHP and explore all PHP capabilities. You can learn, copy and use them on your own projects. Help the project with a donation: Will allow the view of two phpFileManager from diferent URLs on the same screen. Like MC (Midnight Commander) does. https://www.dulldusk.com/product/donation-for-phpfilemanager/ -

Asciiquarium
Enjoy the mysteries of the sea from the safety of your own terminal
asciiquarium is a playful terminal-based program that generates an animated aquarium entirely in ASCII art. It brings to life fish, whales, sharks, turtles, submarines, and other ocean-themed elements swimming across the screen, creating a lighthearted visual display for the command line. The project is written in Perl and designed to run in Unix-like environments, making it simple to install and execute on most systems. While not intended as a practical tool, asciiquarium has become a popular example of creative programming in the terminal, often used for fun or as a screensaver-style distraction. The animation is randomized, so each run produces a slightly different underwater scene. As an open source project, it has been adapted and extended by the community over time, ensuring compatibility and continued enjoyment for terminal enthusiasts. -

peon-ping
Warcraft III Peon voice notifications (+ more!) for Claude Code
Peon-ping is a quirky utility that brings fun and practical voice notifications to your development workflow by using Warcraft III peon-style sound effects whenever significant events occur in your code editor or terminal. The project is built around the idea of reducing cognitive load by audibly alerting you when processes finish, tests fail, or language models complete responses, helping you stay focused without constantly watching the screen. It integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and other IDEs so that both AI-powered responses and routine command results can trigger peon voices. Because it’s implemented as a simple shell tool, it’s lightweight, easy to set up, and runs alongside your existing tools without interfering with your core development setup. Users can customize which notifications they want and how frequently sounds play, turning mundane events into amusing auditory feedback. -

testssl.sh
Testing TLS/SSL encryption anywhere on any port
testssl.sh is a free command-line tool that checks a server's service on any port for the support of TLS/SSL ciphers, protocols as well as recent cryptographic flaws and more. testssl.sh is free and open-source software. You can use it under the terms of GPLv2, please review the License before using it. Works for Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, NetBSD and WSL/MSYS2/Cygwin out of the box, no need to install or configure something, no gems, CPAN, pip or the like. OpenBSD only needs bash to be postinstalled. You can test any SSL/TLS enabled and STARTTLS service, not only webservers at port 443. Several command line options help you to run your test and configure your output. If a particular check cannot be performed because of a missing capability on your client side, you'll get a warning. You can look at the code, see what's going on and you can change it. -

weathr
A terminal weather app with ascii animation
Weathr is a Rust-based terminal weather application that combines utility with charm by turning your command-line interface into a dynamic, visually engaging weather display that uses animated ASCII art to show real-time conditions. Powered by the Open-Meteo weather API, it fetches up-to-date forecasts and then renders them directly in your terminal, complete with animated rain, snow, thunderstorms, flying airplanes, and day/night cycles that change with the actual weather and time of day. The app includes auto-location detection so it can determine where you are via IP or let you specify coordinates manually for precise updates anywhere in the world. It also supports a range of simulated weather scenarios that you can trigger for testing or entertainment, like simulating snow at night or falling leaves in autumn, making it both useful and delightful to run. -

xterm.js
A terminal for the web
xterm.js is a TypeScript-based front-end terminal emulation component that lets web applications embed fully-featured terminal interfaces. It powers in-browser terminals in tools like VS Code and browser IDEs. Xterm.js works with most terminal apps such as bash, vim, and tmux, including support for curses-based apps and mouse events. Xterm.js is really fast, it even includes a GPU-accelerated renderer. Xterm.js is not a terminal application that you can download and use on your computer. Xterm.js is not bash. Xterm.js can be connected to processes like bash and let you interact with them (provide input, receive output).
