The Terminal Index A curated directory of the best CLI & TUI tools

Features

• Search & filters — relevance-ranked search across every listing, filters for category and language, sorting by recently updated or most stars, and a verified only view. The filter state lives in the URL, so you can share results.
• Rich tool pages — screenshots and demo videos, install commands for each method (cargo, brew, apt, …), supported platforms, and related tools.
• Live GitHub stats — stars, last push, repo age and latest release are synced daily from GitHub and Codeberg.
• Browse by categories, tags and languages.
• Guides — modern alternatives to classic commands and apps (ls, grep, top, vim, tmux, Postman, Spotify, …), plus curated collections such as Modern Unix, TUI Git clients, AI coding agents and Kubernetes TUIs.
• Comments — sign in with GitHub to leave a comment on any tool page.
• Community submissions & edits — add a new tool or suggest changes to an existing listing from the site. Your GitHub account opens the pull request, with no bot in between.
• README badge & verified listings — every tool page has a "listed on The Terminal Index" badge you can copy. When a tool's README links back, the listing is marked ✓ verified and shown first on category, tag and language pages.
• Feeds & data — an RSS feed of newly added and updated tools, and a JSON dump of the full directory at /api/tools.json.

308 tools across 23 categories — browse with screenshots, GitHub stats and comments at cli.masoko.net.
