Is there a CLI/TUI start menu like tool, with favorites/categories?

Or even better, a whole status bar at the top/bottom (also without X/wayland/framebuffer), with time, battery, maybe even launched background processes listed you can bring to front?

No reason that we can't have some Desktop metaphor niceties on shell too, no?

you can easily do this with tmux. here's an example of mine it shows the time and battery:

as far as the start menu, i mean you just use your terminal. use fuzzy finder or something which pretty much all launchers like fuzzel use anyways.
