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). -

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. -

fd
A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments. -

pastel
A command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate color
pastel is a command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate colors. It supports many different color formats and color spaces like RGB (sRGB), HSL, CIELAB, CIELCh as well as ANSI 8-bit and 24-bit representations. pastel provides a number of commands like saturate, mix or paint. To get more information about a specific subcommand (say mix), you can call pastel mix -h or pastel help mix. Many pastel commands can be composed by piping the output of one command to another. You can also explicitly specify which colors you want to read from the input. -

TAWS
A terminal-based AWS resource viewer and manager
TAWS is a terminal-based user interface (TUI) tool designed to help developers view and manage Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources directly from the command line in a curses-style, interactive environment. It provides a unified interface where users can explore their AWS resources such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, IAM users, and more, all without switching to a web console, which can speed up workflows for frequent cloud administrators and developers alike. Because it runs in a terminal and is written with performance in mind, taws offers rapid navigation, filtering, and inspection of cloud services while maintaining keyboard-driven efficiency, similar to how tools like k9s help interact with Kubernetes clusters. The TUI layout allows users to traverse hierarchical AWS structures, inspect details, and often take action from within the same environment, making cloud management more fluid and less context-switching. -

xleak
A fast terminal Excel viewer with an interactive TUI
xleak is a lightweight tool for detecting memory leaks and resource mismanagement in C/C++ programs by tracing heap allocations and deallocations with minimal overhead. It hooks into your program’s allocation functions to observe memory usage patterns, helping developers identify locations where memory was allocated but never freed, which is a common source of bugs and performance issues in unmanaged languages. The tool produces detailed reports that show the call stacks associated with leaked allocations, making it easier to track down problematic code paths and fix them. Because it focuses on transparency and low runtime impact, xleak can be used during regular testing cycles without significantly slowing down execution. It also supports integration with unit test suites, allowing teams to automatically enforce memory safety expectations with every build. -

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. -

hexyl
A command-line hex viewer
hexyl is a simple hex viewer for the terminal. It uses a colored output to distinguish different categories of bytes (NULL bytes, printable ASCII characters, ASCII whitespace characters, other ASCII characters and non-ASCII). If you run Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) or newer, you can install the officially maintained package. If you run Debian Buster or newer, you can also install the officially maintained Debian package. Check out the release page for binary builds. Alternatively, install from source via cargo (see below). Make sure that you use a terminal that supports ANSI escape sequences (like ConHost v2 since Windows 10 1703 or Windows Terminal since Windows 10 1903). -

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. -

zoxide
A smarter cd command, supports all major shells
It remembers which directories you use most frequently, so you can "jump" to them in just a few keystrokes. zoxide works on all major shells. zoxide is a smarter cd command, inspired by z and auto jump. fzf is a command-line fuzzy finder, used by zoxide for interactive selection. zoxide supports fzf v0.21.0+. Environment variables can be used for configuration. They must be set before zoxide init is called. -

Onefetch
Git repository summary on your terminal
Onefetch is a command-line Git information tool written in Rust that displays project information and code statistics for a local Git repository directly on your terminal. The tool is completely offline, no network access is required. By default, the repo's information is displayed alongside the dominant language's logo, but you can further configure onefetch to instead use an image, on supported terminals, text input, or nothing at all. It automatically detects open source licenses from texts and provides the user with valuable information like code distribution, pending changes, number of dependencies (by package manager), top contributors (by number of commits), the size on disk, creation date, LOC (lines of code), etc. Onefetch can be configured via command-line flags to display exactly what you want, the way you want it to: you can customize ASCII/Text formatting, disable info lines, ignore files & directories, and output in multiple formats (JSON, Yaml), etc. -

gitoxide
An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git
An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git. gix is a command-line interface (CLI) to access git repositories. It's written to optimize the user experience and perform as well or better than the canonical implementation. Furthermore, it provides an easy and safe to use API in the form of various small crates for implementing your own tools in a breeze. Please see 'Development Status' for a listing of all crates and their capabilities. Please note that all functionality comes from the gitoxide-core library, which mirrors these capabilities and itself relies on all git-* crates. Limit the number of threads used in operations that support it. Choose between 'human' and 'JSON' output formats. Display general information about the index itself, with detailed extension information by default and detailed information about the TREE extension. Follow the linked crate name for detailed status. -

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. -
18
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. -

sshx
Fast, collaborative live terminal sharing over the web
sshx is a secure, collaborative terminal environment that runs in the browser and enables real-time shared access to a terminal session over the web. It’s designed for use cases like pair programming, remote debugging, teaching, or any scenario where multiple people need to see and interact with the same terminal at the same time. Users can start a session with a simple command and invite others via link, with end-to-end encryption ensuring that the session remains confidential. The interface supports an infinite canvas for arranging multiple terminal panes, real-time remote cursors, automatic reconnection, and predictive local echo to make typing feel fluid even with network latency. SSHX’s mesh networking architecture connects participants to the nearest server, facilitating fast interactions globally. Because it’s open source and cross-platform, it can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, and it integrates with CI/CD workflows to make collaborative debugging easier. -

Tokei
Count your code, quickly
Tokei is a program that displays statistics about your code. Tokei will show the number of files, total lines within those files, and code, comments, and blanks grouped by language. Tokei is very fast and is able to count millions of lines of code in seconds. Check out the 12.0.0 release to see how Tokei's speed compares to others. Tokei is accurate, Tokei correctly handles multi-line comments, and nested comments, and not count comments that are in strings. Providing accurate code statistics. Tokei has a huge range of languages, supporting over 150 languages, and their various extensions. Tokei can output in multiple formats(CBOR, JSON, YAML) allowing Tokei's output to be easily stored, and reused. These can also be reused in tokei combining a previous run's statistics with another set. Tokei is available on Mac, Linux, and Windows. See installation instructions for how to get Tokei on your platform. -
21
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). -
22
grex
A command-line tool and library for generating regular expressions
grex is a library as well as a command-line utility that is meant to simplify the often complicated and tedious task of creating regular expressions. It does so by automatically generating a single regular expression from user-provided test cases. The resulting expression is guaranteed to match the test cases which it was generated from. This project has started as a Rust port of the JavaScript tool regexgen written by Devon Govett. Although a lot of further useful features could be added to it, its development was apparently ceased several years ago. The plan is now to add these new features to grex as Rust really shines when it comes to command-line tools. grex offers all features that regexgen provides, and more. The philosophy of this project is to generate the most specific regular expression possible by default that exactly matches the given input only and nothing else. With the use of command-line flags (in the CLI tool) or preprocessing methods (in the library). -

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. -
24
bandwhich
Terminal bandwidth utilization tool
bandwhich sniffs a given network interface and records IP packet size, cross referencing it with the /proc filesystem on linux, lsof on macOS, or using WinApi on windows. It is responsive to the terminal window size, displaying less info if there is no room for it. It will also attempt to resolve ips to their host name in the background using reverse DNS on a best effort basis. bandwhich can be installed using the Rust package manager, cargo. It might be in your distro repositories if you're on linux, or you can install it via rustup. Cargo installs bandwhich to ~/.cargo/bin/bandwhich but you need root priviliges to run bandwhich. To install bandwhich on OpenWRT, you'll need to compile a binary that would fit its processor architecture. This might mean you would have to cross compile if, for example, you're working on an x86_64 and the OpenWRT is installed on an arm7. -
