Text-based tools I'm using on my FreeBSD laptop

Context
As I mentioned before, I recently switched to i3 as Window Manager on my FreeBSD laptop.
I was already using some text-based tools, but with i3 being all about focus, I made the switch for other tools as well.
List
- Email client: Mutt
- Addressbook: khard (along with vdirsyncer)
- Calendar: khal (along with vdirsyncer)
- File manager: ranger
- Tasks: Taskwarrior
Exceptions
Of course, there's still a (very) few applications that I'm running with a graphical user interface:
- Firefox browser,
- KeepassXC - although I could use its cli,
- QOwnNotes - I edit my Markdown notes with vim from time to time, but QOWnNotes' GUI is a lot more pleasant to use.
