yoinks
yoink any video from your terminal. no shady ads
Yoinks is a terminal application for downloading video and audio from more than 1,800 websites. It uses yt-dlp behind the scenes while presenting a polished full-screen interface built with Ink and React. Users can paste a URL, inspect available formats, choose a resolution, or extract audio as MP3. High-resolution streams can be merged automatically through FFmpeg. The app downloads its own yt-dlp binary when necessary and can fall back to a bundled FFmpeg build. Keyboard, number-key, and mouse controls make the terminal interface interactive rather than command-only. Files are saved to the user’s Downloads directory, and automatic, light, and dark terminal themes are supported. -

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. -

SSHTOOLS
Java SSH API
This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway. -

terminal-image
Display images in the terminal
terminal-image is a Node.js package for displaying images directly inside color-capable terminal applications. It supports PNG and JPEG files as well as animated GIF playback. Terminals with native graphics protocols, including compatible iTerm2 and Kitty environments, can display images at full resolution. Other terminals fall back to colored Unicode block characters using ANSI output. Developers can specify image width and height as terminal dimensions or percentages while preserving aspect ratio by default. The package accepts both image files and in-memory buffers. GIF rendering includes configurable frame-rate limits and custom frame handlers, making the library suitable for rich CLI previews and media-oriented terminal tools. -

This project maintains the Linux Console tools, which include utilities to test and configure joysticks, connect legacy devices to the kernel's input subsystem (providing support for serial mice, touchscreens etc.), and test the input event layer.

term.js
A terminal written in javascript
term.js is a full xterm-style terminal emulator written in JavaScript. It was designed to bring interactive terminal behavior into the browser and was used by tty.js for web-based terminal sessions. The project includes server and client examples that connect browser terminal input and output through sockets. It supports terminal dimensions, screen keys, title events, terminal writing, data events, destruction on disconnect, and familiar xterm behavior. It also includes keyboard-driven tmux-like selection and copy-paste workflows in addition to mouse selection. The repository is no longer maintained, but it remains an important reference for browser terminal emulation and early JavaScript terminal UI work. -

mcrcon
Console based rcon client for minecraft servers.
Mcrcon is IPv6 compliant minecraft rcon client with bukkit coloring support. It is well suited for remote administration and to be used as part of automated server maintenance scripts. - Does not trigger "IO: Broken pipe" or "IO: Connection reset" spam bug on server side. - Has workaround for server side bug (https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-154617) ****************************************************************** Further development and new releases has moved to Github Github page: https://github.com/Tiiffi/mcrcon Official upstream: https://github.com/Tiiffi/mcrcon/releases https://api.github.com/repos/tiiffi/mcrcon/releases/latest ****************************************************************** -

Alacritty
A cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator
Alacritty is the fastest open source terminal emulator there is. How is it the fastest? With such a strong focus on simplicity and performance, Alacritty’s included features are very carefully considered, ensuring that it remains blazingly fast. It’s got a GPU for rendering that makes a whole lot of optimizations possible. In various benchmarked terminals, Alacritty has shown to be either faster, or way faster than others. Alacritty requires no additional setup, but still allows configuration of many aspects of the terminal. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD. -

ttystudio
A terminal-to-gif recorder minus the headaches
ttystudio is a terminal-to-GIF recorder built to capture command-line sessions without the usual external tooling headaches. It can record a terminal session and compile the result into a GIF or APNG using its own built-in writers. The project avoids dependencies such as ImageMagick, ffmpeg, shell scripts, and frame concatenation workflows. It records terminal frames through a pseudo-terminal, renders text using parsed bitmap fonts, and writes the animation directly from captured frame data. Users can record and compile in one step or save frames to JSON for later replay and editing. It also supports frame ranges, custom delays, borders, screenshot mode, custom quit keys, logging options, and APNG palette controls. -

ShellOracle
A terminal utility for intelligent shell command generation
ShellOracle is a command-line utility designed to translate natural language instructions into executable shell commands, enhancing productivity for developers and system administrators. It integrates with multiple large language model providers, including local and cloud-based systems, to generate accurate and context-aware command suggestions. The tool operates directly within the terminal and can be triggered through keyboard shortcuts, allowing users to describe tasks in plain English and receive ready-to-run commands. It maintains a history of prompts and generated commands, enabling users to revisit previous queries and refine workflows over time. The system also supports advanced shell features such as piping, allowing generated commands to be chained into more complex operations. Designed to be self-hosted, it gives users full control over their environment and data, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive use cases. -

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. Check out my new project!

Bastillion
Bastillion gives you a clean, browser-based way to manage SSH access a
Bastillion is a web-based SSH console and SSH key management tool — a bastion host with a friendly browser dashboard. Register a system once; Bastillion pushes its own SSH key to it, so users never hold long-lived keys to your servers themselves. Authorized users then open live, resizable web terminals to one or more systems at once, with commands optionally broadcast to every open session simultaneously. Highlights: centralized SSH key management (rotate/revoke access to every system instantly); two-factor authentication (Authy or Google Authenticator); every terminal session is recorded and can be replayed for audits (PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001); Profiles control who can reach which systems; Composite Scripts run the same script across a whole fleet; TLS/HTTPS out of the box with custom certificate support; optional LDAP authentication. Ships as a single self-contained jar with an embedded H2 database. Free for up to 5 systems. -
