I like #CLI and #TUI tools. I use them everyday to read my emails, edit code, manage my agenda and todo list, access some websites and gemini capsules, even chat with my local LLM...
I miss these tools when I use my phone. I sometimes use ConnectBot to access them on one of my machines via ssh, but the phone keyboard and the screen size don't give me the same satisfaction.
Have you tried to use an external #keyboard with your Android phone to play with CLI/TUI software? Is it a solution? Which keyboard?

@adele any particular favorite CLI/TUI tools recently?
I recently discovered helix editor and have been enjoying that. (And already miss a lot of its keyboard navigation when I’m back in other editors.)
And I started using jj-vcs as a better git client.
When I write scripts for myself these days, I use Deno because you can easily include dependencies in a single file. I recommend https://jsr.io/@david/dax for easy shell scripting and prompting.

I really like pimutils with vdirsyncer and ikhal. I can manage my contacts and my calendar and store data on a caldav/carddav server.
aerc, my tui email client, can access my synced contacts, too.
