Command-line audio and video downloader supporting thousands of sites: pick formats and quality, grab subtitles and metadata, and merge or transcode with FFmpeg. The actively maintained fork of youtube-dl.

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

Command-line edition of the open-source OpenBB investment research platform: query stock prices, financial statements, macroeconomic and other financial data from the terminal, and automate data pulls with Routine scripts. Officially maintained; some sources need API keys.

Command-line toolkit for transcoding, cutting, joining, frame extraction and streaming of audio and video, including ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. A core dependency for agents handling media. The GitHub repo is the official mirror.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in React and render them from the command line with npx remotion render, letting agents batch-produce data-driven videos. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies of up to 3 people; larger for-profit companies need a license.

C/C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model that transcribes audio offline and outputs subtitles. Runs on CPU, with Apple Silicon and various GPU acceleration. Download a ggml-format model first.

From HKU's Data Intelligence Lab: plugins or skills for Claude Code, Codex and other agents generate agent-callable CLIs for apps like GIMP, Blender and LibreOffice, and the cli-hub package manager finds and installs ready-made community CLIs. Needs Python 3.10+.

MuseScore 4 command-line wrapper from CLI-Anything: lets agents transpose scores, extract parts, add or remove instruments, inspect score info and export PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, MP3 or braille. Handy for music teachers preparing scores in bulk. Needs MuseScore 4 and Python 3.10+.

Lightweight multi-protocol command-line downloader that fetches in parallel segments from multiple sources over HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. Resumes downloads, reads URLs in bulk from text files and offers a JSON-RPC interface for scripts or agents.

Engine for math and explainer animations in Python (Community Edition, ManimCE): write scenes and render them to video with the manim command, letting agents create teaching and science animations. On macOS install cairo and pkg-config first; formulas need LaTeX.

Adds a searchable, copyable text layer to scanned PDFs, with automatic deskew, rotation and size optimization, outputting PDF/A by default. Built on Tesseract, supports 100+ languages and runs fully locally.

Office command-line tool built for AI agents: a single binary that creates, reads and edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files without Office installed, and renders them to HTML or PNG so agents can check the layout.

Official CLI (actual) for the local-first budget app Actual Budget: query and edit accounts, transactions, categories, payees, rules and budgets on your sync server, with JSON output and CSV export for agent bookkeeping. Needs Node.js 22+ plus your server URL, password and budget Sync ID.

Financial research terminal agent, like Claude Code for finance: breaks company research questions into steps, pulls financial statements and market data, and self-checks before answering. Needs Bun, a model API key and a Financial Datasets API key; for learning and research only.

Removes image backgrounds with one command: single images, whole folders or watched directories, mask-only output and switchable models like U2Net and SAM. Can also run as an HTTP server or process video frames with FFmpeg. Default models run locally.

Veteran open-source video transcoder. HandBrakeCLI uses built-in presets to batch-compress screen recordings, course videos and footage or convert them to MP4, MKV or WebM for phones and the web. Free, runs locally, installable on macOS via Homebrew.

Fast speech transcription built on faster-whisper, with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, suited to meeting notes and subtitles. Diarization needs a Hugging Face token; GPU acceleration needs CUDA.

ML-based video upscaling and frame interpolation using Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RIFE and other models to upscale old low-res video or raise frame rates; video2x handles one video per run and is scriptable. Needs a Vulkan GPU; Windows, Linux and Docker builds, no native macOS.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.

Industrial-grade open-source speech recognition toolkit from Alibaba's ModelScope, with an agent-friendly funasr command that turns audio into text, JSON or SRT subtitles in one step, with speaker diarization and timestamps. Strong on Chinese. Requires PyTorch.

Command-line tool for bulk-downloading galleries and posts from many image hosts and social platforms, with flexible file naming and config, and yt-dlp integration for video. Main development has moved to Codeberg; the GitHub repo stays in sync.

All-in-one video translation and dubbing: chains speech recognition, subtitle translation, multi-speaker AI voiceover and audio-video muxing, with local or online models like Faster-Whisper, DeepSeek and Edge-TTS. cli.py supports headless batch runs. Needs FFmpeg.

Veteran image processing CLI suite that converts, resizes, crops, composites and batch-processes JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PDF and many more formats, handy for agents handling images in scripts.
