    multiple GNOME terminals in one window

    Terminator was originally developed by Chris Jones in 2007 as a simple, 300-ish line Python script. Since then, it has become The Robot Future of Terminals. Originally inspired by projects like quadkonsole and gnome-multi-term and more recently by projects like Iterm2, and Tilix, It lets you combine and recombine terminals to suit the style you like. If you live at the command line or are logged into 10 different remote machines at once, you should definitely try out Terminator.

    Streamlink

    Streamlink

    Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams

    Streamlink is a command-line utility that pipes video streams from various services into a video player, such as VLC.

There is also an API available for developers who want access to the stream data. Streamlink is built upon a plugin system that allows support for new services to be easily added. Most of the big streaming services are supported. Streamlink is made up of two parts, a cli and a library API. See their respective sections for more information on how to use them. The default behavior of Streamlink is to playback streams in the VLC player. Please note that by using this application you're bypassing ads run by sites such as Twitch.tv. Please consider donating or paying for subscription services when they are available for the content you consume and enjoy.

    iTerm2 Color Schemes

    iTerm2 Color Schemes

    Over 425 terminal color schemes/themes for iTerm/iTerm2

    This project curates a large collection of terminal color schemes and makes them available in formats for many terminal emulators, not just iTerm2. You’ll find well-known palettes like Solarized, Dracula, Nord, and hundreds more, each with previews that showcase how code, prompts, and text look under the theme. The repository includes export files for multiple terminals—such as iTerm2, Apple Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Windows Terminal, and others—so you can apply the same aesthetic consistently across machines. There are helper tools and conversion scripts to generate or translate schemes, plus instructions for importing them on each supported terminal. Because it’s community-driven, new schemes and updates are added regularly, and issues often include tweaks to improve readability or contrast for different use cases.

    VOID-TOOLS

    VOID-TOOLS

    OSINT, Discord, web & network utilities

    VOID-TOOLS is a Python terminal multitool suite for OSINT, Discord, web, network, social, Roblox, and utility workflows. It is built around a Rich-powered terminal dashboard with keyboard navigation, a cinematic boot flow, category panels, and a live sidebar. The tool organizes many modules into categories and marks premium tools separately from free ones. It includes bilingual setup, theme selection, fuzzy search, category filters, custom plugin loading, and remote manifest updates. The project describes itself as educational and authorized-use-only, especially because some modules relate to security, network checks, webhooks, and platform administration. It is best understood as a modular terminal dashboard for research and utility tasks rather than a single-purpose application.

    JC

    JC

    CLI tool and python library

    CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools and file types to JSON or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts. jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file types for easier parsing in scripts. This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq or jello by piping commands. The JC parsers can also be used as python modules. In this case, the output will be a python dictionary, or a list of dictionaries, instead of JSON. Two representations of the data are available. The default representation uses a strict schema per parser and converts known numbers to int/float JSON values. Certain known values of None are converted to JSON null, known boolean values are converted, and, in some cases, additional semantic context fields are added.

    Guake

    Guake

    Drop-down terminal for GNOME

    Guake is a Python-based drop-down terminal for the GNOME desktop environment. Its interface is inspired by the pull-down consoles found in first-person shooter games, where the terminal appears quickly with a keyboard shortcut and hides just as easily. This makes it useful for developers, system administrators, and Linux users who want fast terminal access without constantly managing separate windows. Guake supports tabs, customizable appearance, hotkeys, and session-oriented terminal usage. It is designed to stay out of the way until needed, then provide immediate access to a shell from the top of the screen. Its main value is speed, convenience, and a lightweight workflow for users who repeatedly switch between graphical apps and command-line work.
