There are many productivity apps these days. Todo lists, notes, kanban boards, etc. But what are some productivity based apps or scripts you like to use in the terminal. Anything that wholly runs in the terminal or uses some api to help.

I really like bat. It's cat, but with syntax highlighting and also shows line numbers, git changes, and all that jazz.
I use it as a drop-in replacement for cat with the following options:
It's really powerful!
#RUST
Nice.
Wow! I have already replaced grep with ripgreg thanks to @dmfay mentioning it. I just tried bat and it's cool as well, thanks! Rust for the win I guess :D
This is lovely!
oh this tool is neat. I was using mdcat for this but i really like this one.
tldr.sh/ is awesome!
Wow! That is awesome! Terminal tools make me so happy :D

Well, I don't know if I would call it a productivity app, but I set up a bash script that runs every day at 17:30 and creates a system notification to remind me to go home.
Those apps are for managers productivity. I mean that the managers should handle the extra tickets and priority, handle everything else around us so we can focus on development. At least for the teams where I worked, the bottleneck were the devs, so the managers acted as a filtering funnel for us.
We, as devs need tools to that take the load from us. Last one I found was bash-it. Other is
dockerto install local dependencies like databases and admins.Most of the others are embeded in the intelliJ IDE's.
I wrote a couple PowerShell scripts for work that speed up processing Product Photos.
Fetches and downloads specific images from the Clarks website. All I have to do is tell the script how the file name should start (sometimes 261___, sometimes Clarks__, depending on who's building the products) and then I just throw in the 5 digit SKU numbers till I'm done.
I've looked into doing this for other brands too, but Clarks is the only one so far that has consistent image storage and naming conventions that makes it scriptable.
I have to upload files into anywhere from 1 - 3 different FTP locations. This script asks which to upload to, takes all the images in the "Fixed" folder and uploads them to the different locations.
A couple of my favorites that haven't been mentioned:
My 2 cents here. SparrowHub - I used it in my daily scripting. No need to write script from the scratch every time when I need it. Just write it once and upload to SparrowHub (:
github.com/dinedal/textql query your csv with SQL-syntax
github.com/tomnomnom/gron gron makes JSON greppable
github.com/jonas/tig git spelled backwards ;) to manage git repos
Otherwise, I am a big fan of orgmode.org/ which is the reason I took a glimpse at emacs.
these are some of my favorite tools.
zis just so darn useful.
