lf file manager - I had used ranger for years and then found lf and stuck to it. Hardly ever need anything else.

aerc mail - coming from neomutt, aerc is a fresh breeze of minimal yet powerful and easy to configure (looking at you, mutt!) software.

pim utils - khard, khal, todoman and vdirsyncer for contacts, calendar, todos and sync with my own nextcloud server respectively. Invaluable!
