Tell me your favorite CLI apps

As the title says.

Aside from the obvious like fastfetch, htop, vim, etc what CLI apps are out there which replace a GUI app?

I like these as it is much more convenient and faster to have it all one command away and they use much less system resources (looking at you electron) as well as just making me look like a hackerman.

Love using PC again

As a kid from Nepal , born 2000, when I was about 10, some phones were starting to be seen and one of the person with nokia 3310 was my uncle. I was hooked. Played snake all the time and locked his phone with PUK code. Then, internet came, hacking wps password from wifi using android phones from neighbour when they came along. Started watching MKBHD, mr mobile, austin evans etc. Wanted a laptop badly, after few years uncle and my dad put half amount each to buy me Acer aspier 4349, I drove that laptop from in and out and used several OS like XP, vista, 7, kali linux and many gaming windows pre configured OSes( had no clue what i was doing), cracked games and all. That was my fondest memory of using PC. But I knew Nepal would be my bottleneck for my tech aspirations, completed my highschool and applied for student visa to Australia. Came at the wost time during covid where the prime minister couldnot care less about international student but we persevered. Lost enthuthiasm towards tech, everything felt sterile and safe even with windows. Built my gaming rig but enthusiasm was not there. Last month decided to give cachyos a go cuz I needed something to tinker. It has been a joy. Yes I break it all the time but whats the fun in a corporate clean office when you can have your own room with your own filth. Started with kde plasma, now reinstalled with no DE and no cachyos packages other than kernel manager and setting up hyprland with HyDE . I am actively on my PC longer than ever. Looking forward to learn all open source apps and learning different workflows. Also, planning to get into learning programming languages which admittedly I put off before but no more. Thank you linux.

Mailspring is a pretty decent email client (and actively developed)

https://preview.redd.it/yissw00vio1h1.png?width=2944&format=png&auto=webp&s=e197a41b5699ce32666e89abcea24c2ecbf66379

After periods of using Thunderbird, and then Geary, I was getting annoyed with their various shortcomings.

At a minimum I need a one line preview of each email in the message list (which isn't even on the Thunderbird roadmap). Also Thunderbird is memory heavy and still feels clunky despite the partial UI makeover. Geary is fine, but uses old toolkits and is showing its age (also no longer developed). Sometimes html messages don't render correctly in Geary (I believe it uses webkit).

Mailspring went through a period of hardly being developed. But I think the main Dev switched to Linux last year, and now there's very frequent updates (https://www.getmailspring.com/changelog). Also they abandoned needing an account to use it. Developer is responsive to bug reports on Discourse.

Default theme is ok but dated. Switching to the inbuilt Darkside Theme (created by a graphic designer), and it looks great and modern.
