Some stuff I have found using termux terminal on my tablet. All of this stuff can be found on github and other websites and are probably a better source for the materials found here. I just copied and pasted stuff for my own personal use.
I am NOT a terminal (or linux) user. I dabble from time to time.
calcurse
Calcurse is a calendar and scheduling application for the command line. see more here.
To get it, you can install it in termux by typing:
pkg install calcurse
wordgrinder
WordGrinder is a Unicode-aware character cell word processor that runs in a terminal (or a Windows console). It is designed to get the hell out of your way and let you get some work done. You can see more here.
Install:
pkg install wordgrinder
wttr.in
Great way to get the local weather...if you happen to live in a town that has really recognizable name like Chicago or Berlin. Otherwise, you have to kinda play with it until it gets something close to what you want. Also, the ?u sets the temps to American units of F(reedom).
curl -s wttr.in/warsaw,IN?u

irssi
I don't normally use a CLI based irc client, but when I do, it is either irssi or weechat. Below you will find some irssi cheats.
pkg install irssi
When I use irssi, I don't like all the crap they put in the way. I just want text on a screen. Here are some things that will remove stuff that gets in the way:
/STATUSBAR MODIFY -disable info This gets rid of the info bar at the bottom that tells you stuff like how many users are in the channel.
/STATUSBAR MODIFY -disable window status bar This will remove the bar at the top that has the title in it.
fastfetch in irssi
I tried making a script that would output a fastfetch into a channel on irc:
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION %IRSSI);
$VERSION = '1.5';
%IRSSI = (
contact => 'N/A',
name => 'Flexible Fastfetch Sysinfo',
description => 'Displays system info on separate colored lines with fallbacks',
license => 'Public Domain',
);
sub fetch_sysinfo {
my ($server, $witem) = @_;
return unless $witem; # Ensure we're in a channel/window
# Run fastfetch and capture output
my $sysinfo = `fastfetch --logo none -s OS:Memory:CPU:Battery:Disk:DateTime 2>/dev/null`;
chomp($sysinfo);
my %data;
if ($sysinfo) {
# Split by " - " and populate data hash
my @sections = split / - /, $sysinfo;
$data{'OS'} = $sections[0] if @sections > 0;
$data{'Memory'} = $sections[1] if @sections > 1;
$data{'CPU'} = $sections[2] if @sections > 2;
$data{'Battery'} = $sections[3] if @sections > 3;
$data{'Disk'} = $sections[4] if @sections > 4;
$data{'Date & Time'} = $sections[5] if @sections > 5;
}
# Fallbacks for missing or incomplete data
$data{'OS'} ||= `uname -o -r -m` || 'Unknown OS';
$data{'Memory'} ||= `free -h | grep Mem | awk '{print \$3 "/" \$2}'` || 'Unknown Memory';
$data{'CPU'} ||= `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f2-` || 'Unknown CPU';
$data{'Battery'} ||= `termux-battery-status 2>/dev/null | grep percentage | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d '",'` || 'Unknown Battery';
$data{'Disk (/)'}= `df -h / | tail -n 1 | awk '{print \$3 "/" \$2 " (" \$5 ")"}'` || 'Unknown Disk (/)';
$data{'Disk (/storage/emulated)'} = `df -h /storage/emulated | tail -n 1 | awk '{print \$3 "/" \$2 " (" \$5 ")"}'` || 'Unknown Disk (/storage/emulated)';
$data{'Date & Time'} ||= `date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` || 'Unknown Date & Time';
# Define colors and labels
my @colors = (4, 7, 3, 12, 6, 9, 11); # Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Cyan, Light Cyan
my @labels = ('OS:', 'Memory:', 'CPU:', 'Battery:', 'Disk (/):', 'Disk (/storage/emulated):', 'Date & Time:');
# Send each line with colored values
my $i = 0;
for my $key ('OS', 'Memory', 'CPU', 'Battery', 'Disk (/)', 'Disk (/storage/emulated)', 'Date & Time') {
chomp($data{$key}); # Remove newlines from fallback commands
my $colored_value = "\x03" . $colors[$i % @colors] . $data{$key} . "\x0f";
$witem->command("MSG " . $witem->{name} . " $labels[$i] " . $colored_value);
$i++;
}
}
- Register the /sysinfo command
Irssi::command_bind 'sysinfo' => sub {
my ($data, $server, $witem) = @_;
fetch_sysinfo($server, $witem);
};
print "Flexible Fastfetch Sysinfo script loaded. Use /sysinfo to display detailed system info!";
It kinda works. Some stuff runs together a bit.
curl wttr.in in irssi
Same thing as above, I tried getting a script to work that would display the current weather in my location in irssi.
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION %IRSSI);
$VERSION = '1.1';
%IRSSI = (
contact => 'N/A',
name => 'Current Weather Fetcher',
description => 'Fetches current weather for Warsaw, IN and sends it to the channel',
license => 'Public Domain',
);
sub fetch_weather {
my ($server, $witem) = @_;
return unless $witem; # Ensure we're in a channel/window
# Fetch only current weather using ?0 parameter
my $weather = `curl -s wttr.in/warsaw,IN?u?0`;
chomp($weather);
if ($weather) {
# Send the single-line current weather to the channel
$witem->command("MSG " . $witem->{name} . " Current weather in Warsaw, IN: " . $weather);
} else {
$witem->command("MSG " . $witem->{name} . " Error: Could not fetch weather data.");
}
}
- Register the /weather command
Irssi::command_bind 'weather' => sub {
my ($data, $server, $witem) = @_;
fetch_weather($server, $witem);
};
print "Current Weather Fetcher script loaded. Use /weather to display current Warsaw, IN weather!";
This one also half-ass works. I can't strip out the clouds/sun/rain that wttr.in displays.
lynx
Lynx is a text-based web browser designed for use in terminal environments, emphasizing accessibility, speed, and minimal resource usage. It renders web pages as plain text, stripping away images, JavaScript, and complex formatting, making it ideal for users who prioritize content over visual design or work in low-bandwidth or text-only systems.
I use it to access Gopher pages. To access them, you must type "lynx (address) into the termux command line.
Example:
lynx gopher://mozz.us:7003/
termux IRC client
See Termux IRC Client as all the code was moved there and will be updated more than this article.
bombadillo
Bombadillo is another Gopher browser for termux. It sucks. Don't use it.
