A comprehensive writeup of setting up offlineimap, mutt, and notmuch.

Being a bit older it does not consider isync/mbsync nor neomutt - but the ideas and logic behind decisions is explained very well.

Fully localized, one of the rare guides using neomutt instead of mutt as well as msmtp for mail relay.

TUI/cli terminal bibliography manager. Can read and export bibtex, keeps its files in plaintext (yaml I believe?) and can thus be versioned, even comes with integrated git support.

A very simple full-text search tool for plaintext files.
Can support multiple indexes, uses established search db library, is set up with a single config file.

MUA for terminal, integrates automatically with notmuch for indexing searching etc, but otherwise intended to be combined with other programs to fetch, send, compose mail (e.g. offlineimap, msmtp, vim).

Looks very promising but is still in early alpha stage - e.g. no imap caching for now and so on

Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu.

Carries essentially the same functionality -- pipe stuff into it and use it to select an item -- but has the nice ability to display it as an X11 window (like dmenu) in the terminal (as an ncurses program) or on wayland (which I don't yet use).

One thing I had to look for a while:
You set the way it displays itself through the BEMENU_BACKEND environment variable (curses,x11,wayland)
which you have to export before bemenu recognizes it.

a simple terminal user interface for signal messenger (using signal-cli) - GitHub - isamert/scli: a simple terminal user interface for signal messenger (using signal-cli)

Tag, modify, update, and organize your music through the commandline (or through a web interface).

Seems pretty evolved and already comes with a nice plugin eco-system (for album art, mpd connections, gain setting and more)

Cut with regex patterns, automatic space mashing, column reordering, and some other nice features. Written, of course, in rust.

simple shell script to send a message to a matrix room. Can be used e.g. in cron jobs to replace notification, or additional notification, or to only notify on user being AFK, or simply to replace mail(1).
Many possibilities, seems very flexible in its use-case.

Integrates with DBus interface and can display notifications accordingly.
Not a replacement to dunst, but can be used to feed different things (like dunst or polybar) with information.

Also provides examples for grabbing the information from the DBus API and displaying it e.g. in polybar.

A quantified self program for the PC - run as a commandline program and also contains an analysis cmdline tool to then query the (sqlite) database later (examples in readme).

Similar to activitywatch, rescuetime.

An interesting use of loki to grab shell history, store it centrally, and then re-use it from the commandline to replace its traditional history functionality. Also includes a little tidbit on then integrating your shell history with e.g. Grafana.

File manager built in rust, configured through lua.
Seems pretty configurable and follows a vim-like mode (or 'layer') key binding structure.
As of now still somewhat in-development and no static lua api visible, or documented very well (but actively developed).

Create a qr code on the terminal to either send or receive files from. Primarily created to exchange files with your mobile phone over wifi.

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. - kellyjonbrazil/jc

Send and receive messages via signal from the commandline. Can register its own 'username' (i.e. phone number)

Most flexible solution to the problem should be some variation of:

find $DIRECTORY -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat --format '%Y :%y %n' | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

A very gentle introduction to the terminal and working with shell environments for researchers.
