    Terminator

    Terminator

    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.

    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.

    Deep Daze

    Deep Daze

    Simple command line tool for text to image generation

    Simple command-line tool for text to image generation using OpenAI's CLIP and Siren (Implicit neural representation network). In true deep learning fashion, more layers will yield better results. Default is at 16, but can be increased to 32 depending on your resources. Technique first devised and shared by Mario Klingemann, it allows you to prime the generator network with a starting image, before being steered towards the text. Simply specify the path to the image you wish to use, and optionally the number of initial training steps. We can also feed in an image as an optimization goal, instead of only priming the generator network. Deepdaze will then render its own interpretation of that image. The regular mode for texts only allows 77 tokens. If you want to visualize a full story/paragraph/song/poem, set create_story to True.

    llm-ollama

    llm-ollama

    LLM plugin providing access to models running on an Ollama server

    llm-ollama is a plugin for the LLM CLI ecosystem that enables seamless access to models hosted on an Ollama server through a unified command-line interface. It automatically discovers available models from the connected Ollama instance and registers them for use within the CLI, making it easy to run prompts, chat sessions, and embedding operations without manual configuration. The plugin supports both local and remote Ollama servers, allowing flexible deployment scenarios ranging from local machines to cloud-hosted environments. It includes support for multimodal inputs such as image attachments, enabling interaction with vision-capable models. The system also integrates tool usage, allowing models to call predefined utilities such as web search and fetch operations to enhance responses. Additionally, it supports structured outputs through JSON schemas and asynchronous execution for advanced workflows.
