Any other TUI software to recommend? I've been trying to switch to nnn lately for my file manager.

- for file management, I love midnight commander. The two pane interface is classic and highly flexible.

- for git, i tried tig and lazygit, but I couldn't integrate them into my workflow for some reason. But they are both quite nice.

- iftop is quite handy to monitor bandwidth usage etc

- htop is a more advanced top

- ncdu shows you disk usage breakdown (helpful when you need to clean logs out or figure out what is eating your disk space)

- screen/tmux are virtual screen managers if you're remoting into a box and want to maintain a buncha state

- emacs is of course the grandaddy of TUIs, you get your email client, browser, file manager, organizer, rss reader and oh yeah, a pretty good vi implemntation on top of that.

- i tried spotify client of some sort, but it didn't stick

- notmuch is a really sweet email system that integrates with emacs for example.

Pulsemixer is the one I love. It's a TUI alternative to Pavucontrol. https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Honorable mention is Ncmpcpp, which is a TUI frontend for MPD.
