I remember there being one that worked in a terminal

My choice of client should be able to do this:

Log into my account and use the recommendations
Download songs listened to (manually or automatically)
Be able to play my playlists and supermix (or download it)

It would also be nice if it was on phone

I would also be okay if it could just download my supermix

My pick: Metrolist fills all my needs, works for android and I can use it on PC too, I think I found what I wanted. Thanks!

I don't think you'll get all of these points with the same tool. You can login to your account and use recommendations with Revanced YT Music, but not download. Freetube can't do #1 but can import your sub list and download. yt-dlp can't do #1 but can download (mpv could be used as the player technically). Invidious can't do #1 but can the others, but Youtube updated their API recently which largely breaks Invidious. Terminal players like youtube-viewer, ytfzf, yewtube, etc can't do #1 but usually the others.
