A curated awesome-list of command-line applications for macOS and Unix shells, cataloging terminal tools for doing useful things from the shell. The GitHub repository is now a mirror; development has moved to the author's personal Git instance.
Use cases
- discover useful command-line apps for macOS
- find terminal tools to replace GUI software
- curated list of unix shell utilities
- learn what can be done from the terminal
- find CLI alternatives for everyday tasks
When to choose
- you want a curated catalog of terminal applications for macOS or Unix
- you prefer working in the shell and want tool discovery
- you need a reference of CLI software by category
When to avoid
- you want to contribute via GitHub pull requests - contributions are email patches only
- you need actively maintained GitHub-hosted content - the repo is a frozen mirror
- you need a tool rather than a list of tools
