bore
bore is a simple CLI tool for making tunnels to localhost
A modern, simple TCP tunnel in Rust that exposes local ports to a remote server, bypassing standard NAT connection firewalls. That's all it does, no more and no less. This will expose your local port at localhost:8000 to the public internet at bore.pub:<PORT>, where the port number is assigned randomly. Similar to localtunnel and ngrok, except bore is intended to be a highly efficient, unopinionated tool for forwarding TCP traffic that is simple to install and easy to self-host, with no frills attached. (bore totals less than 400 lines of safe, async Rust code and is trivial to set up — just run a single binary for the client and server.) The easiest way to install bore is from prebuilt binaries. These are available on the releases page for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Just unzip the appropriate file for your platform and move the bore executable into a folder on your PATH. You also can build bore from source using Cargo, the Rust package manager. -

wasm-pack
Your favorite rust -> wasm workflow tool!
This tool seeks to be a one-stop-shop for building and working with rust-generated WebAssembly that you would like to interop with JavaScript, in the browser or with Node.js. wasm-pack helps you build rust-generated WebAssembly packages that you could publish to the npm registry, or otherwise use alongside any javascript packages in workflows that you already use, such as webpack. This project is a part of the rust-wasm group. You can find more info by visiting that repo! Currently, wasm-pack requires that you have npm installed to pack and publish your package. Long-term, this will be replaced by a Rust-only version. If you would rather use another package manager that interfaces with the npm registry you may, however, the pack, publish, and login commands wrap the npm CLI interface and as a result require that npm be installed. -

LSD
LSDeluxe for commands
This project is heavily inspired by the super colorls project but with some little differences. For example it is written in rust and not in ruby which makes it much faster. Install the patched fonts of powerline nerd-font and/or font-awesome. Have a look at the Nerd Font README for more installation instructions. Don't forget to setup your terminal in order to use the correct font. lsd can be configured with a configuration file to set the default options. On non-Windows systems lsd follows the XDG Base Directory Specification convention for the location of the configuration file. The configuration dir lsd uses is itself named lsd. On Windows systems lsd only looks for the config.yaml files in one location. You can also provide a configuration file from a non standard location. -

eza
A modern alternative to ls
eza is a modern, feature-rich alternative to the classic UNIX/Linux ls command, written in Rust and designed to be fast, ergonomic, and visually informative. It adds colorized output, icons (in many builds), and metadata augmentation—such as Git status indication, extended attributes display, and human-friendly file size formatting. It handles symlinks, supports recursive listings, has tree views, and offers filtering and sorting options that go beyond what default ls provides. Because it’s a single binary with minimal dependencies, eza aims to remain lightweight and portable while improving the default listing experience. One design goal is sensible defaults: its behavior is configured to be useful without needing many command-line flags, yet it supports customization to adapt to users’ workflows. Because it’s actively maintained, users benefit from bugfixes, performance improvements, and features tailored to contemporary file systems (e.g. emojis, improved Unicode support). -

monolith
CLI tool for saving complete web pages as a single HTML file
A data hoarder’s dream come true, bundle any web page into a single HTML file. You can finally replace that gazillion of open tabs with a gazillion of .html files stored somewhere on your precious little drive. Unlike the conventional “Save page as”, monolith not only saves the target document, it embeds CSS, image, and JavaScript assets all at once, producing a single HTML5 document that is a joy to store and share. If compared to saving websites with wget -mpk, this tool embeds all assets as data URLs and therefore lets browsers render the saved page exactly the way it was on the Internet, even when no network connection is available. -

Carbonyl
Chromium running inside your terminal
Carbonyl is a Chromium-based web browser designed to render modern websites directly inside a terminal. Unlike traditional text browsers, it supports contemporary browser capabilities including JavaScript, WebAssembly, WebGL, WebGPU, animations, audio, and video. Its rendering engine outputs directly at terminal resolution rather than capturing and downscaling a graphical browser window. Carbonyl can run without a window server, making it suitable for consoles, containers, and remote SSH sessions. The project targets responsive performance, with fast startup, 60 FPS rendering, and minimal CPU usage while idle. It is distributed through npm, Docker, and prebuilt macOS and Linux binaries. Its architecture combines a Rust core with a modified Chromium runtime. -

Install Nothing
A terminal application that simulates installing things
Install Nothing is a Rust-based project is a command-line tool that simulates the output of an installation process without actually doing any real installation, letting users watch amusing fake progress screens as if packages, kernels, or desktops were being compiled and configured. Rather than running real tasks, it produces convincing terminal output that mimics the steps, logs, and scrolling messages of installation scripts, making it entertaining for demonstrations, jokes, or screensaver-style displays in terminal sessions. It’s designed for simplicity and safety, doing nothing destructive or permanent on your system while still delivering a satisfying illusion of intense computing activity. Users can configure its behavior to include or exclude specific fake stages, so the output can be tailored to the experience they want. -

Scooter
Interactive find and replace in the terminal
Scooter is an interactive find-and-replace terminal UI app. Search with either a fixed string or a regular expression, enter a replacement, and interactively toggle which instances you want to replace. You can also specify a regex pattern for the file paths you want to search. If the instance you're attempting to replace has changed since the search was performed, e.g. if you've switched branches and that line no longer exists, that particular replacement won't occur: you'll see all such cases at the end. -

bottom
Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor
Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor. A customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. Inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop. By default, bottom is somewhat like a dashboard - a bunch of different widgets, all showing different things, and they all cram together to fit into one terminal. If you instead just want to see one widget, maybe you want to look at a graph in more detail, for example, you can "expand" the currently selected widget using the e key, which will hide all other widgets and make that widget take up all available terminal space. To allow for widget-specific keybindings and expansion, there is the idea of widget selection in bottom, where you can focus on a specific widget to work with it. This can be done with the mouse (just click on the widget of interest). -

Copilot for your terminal
Copilot for your terminal
plz-cli is a free, open-source command-line assistant that translates natural language instructions into executable shell scripts. Written in Rust, it uses OpenAI's GPT-3 language model to generate Bash commands from plain English descriptions. Users can request terminal operations without memorizing complex command syntax or combinations of utilities. The software sends the requested task to the language model and prepares a corresponding shell program. By default, generated commands require confirmation before execution, helping users review potentially destructive operations. An optional force flag allows commands to run without additional approval. The tool supports installation through Homebrew, downloadable binaries, or its installation script. It requires an OpenAI API key and provides a lightweight interface for automating everyday terminal tasks. -
