Korvo is a local-first private research and decision workspace for macOS that organizes files, generates and verifies evidence-backed analyses using connected models (cloud or local), preserves decision history, and supports a two-model critique workflow.

CodeTrain is a local‑first, hands-on AI coding tutor that teaches developers by guiding them to write code in their own codebase step by step. It runs an agent on your machine, offers sandbox or repo modes, and provides team features (dashboards, onboarding journeys, SSO/SCIM, self‑host) for companies.

TrueScribe is a Windows and Linux desktop app for transcribing, editing, searching, translating, and researching audio and video recordings. Processing runs locally by default, with optional cloud models for selected features.

Crest is a macOS app that surfaces Claude Code and Codex permission requests on the MacBook notch (or a pill on non-notch Macs), letting developers tap Allow or Deny from the notch so agent runs don't idle while waiting for terminal input.

Paper Effects is a free, browser-based text match cut generator that creates paper-style highlighted keyword transitions (GIF + WAV + background) for short-form video editors without installs, plugins, or accounts.

Starwell is a verified data layer for AI that harmonizes official statistics into a single REST API and MCP server, returning values with provenance, citations, and license information to prevent numerical hallucinations by agents.

Sageling is a free Mac application that provides a local AI assistant for productivity and real work; it runs on Apple Silicon Macs (≥16 GB RAM) and processes data on-device by default to keep user data private.

VisiScan is an AI visibility scanner that runs live queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini to show whether AI answer engines name your business, who your competitors are in AI answers, and provides prioritized, ready-to-publish fixes to improve AI visibility.

Afterlid is a native macOS menu‑bar app that keeps downloads, renders, backups, dev servers, remote access, and local AI agents running after you close the lid by offering guarded modes (Sleepy, Awake, Always On) with built‑in battery, thermal, heartbeat, and time limits.

Meetless (mla) is an open-source control layer that captures decisions made by AI coding agents, routes unresolved conflicts to humans, and injects human-approved project decisions into agent prompts so agents act on the current, governed project truth.

Embench is a browser-based retrieval lab that lets you index a corpus and compare retrieval stacks (semantic, BM25 keyword, grep, hybrid, and reranked) side-by-side with inline evaluation metrics (precision, recall, MRR). It provides embedded open-source models and a stable JSON REST contract for runs.

A 2026 open-access preprint reporting an empirical study that measures disagreement among five frontier large language models (LLMs) when adjudicating 1,000 real-world fact-checking claims; includes dataset, harness, and raw results.

TokenMaxxer is an AI usage intelligence platform for developers that tracks every AI token burned across coding tools and models, showing counts, estimated cost, and a global leaderboard so developers can monitor and compare usage.

Vestige is a Visual Studio Code extension that makes large, LLM-generated code changes reviewable by building local call-graphs and file-dependency graphs, surfacing blast-radius analysis, guided review cards, and LLM-generated summaries/explanations.

AI Buddy is a free, menu-bar macOS utility for quick screenshots and real-time speech-to-text dictation, letting users capture regions, windows, or full screen and paste images or transcribed text from the clipboard with a single keystroke.

Scribe is a local-first CLI knowledge-base generator that automatically mines developer artifacts (git history, Claude Code & Codex sessions, self-sent URLs, and drop files), triages them with FTS5, and writes a cross-project, typed-graph markdown wiki in git for agents to read before they act.

JobEasyApply is a fully autonomous AI job-application copilot that finds LinkedIn Easy Apply jobs, scores them against your resume using vector embeddings, generates unique AI answers to recruiter questions, and submits applications automatically via a Chrome extension.

RainbowSay is a macOS language-learning and teaching app that uses AI to transcribe, translate, and explain spoken sentences from audio playing on your Mac or captured from a microphone. It offers sentence-by-sentence Listening, Speaking practice, and live Subtitles sessions.

CanvoWP is a free WordPress plugin that uses an AI agent to build and edit pages, templates, and other site files from plain-language instructions. It requires your own OpenRouter account and API key; AI usage is billed by OpenRouter, with a typical estimate of about $0.50 for a five-page site.

Opposable lets AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex operate real Android phones through MCP or a REST API, tapping and typing across installed apps. It also offers cloud Android phones and iPhone support in beta through a Mac.

The Last SaaS is an open-source, headless SaaS backend that gives AI assistants and agents primitives for managing records, files, users, permissions, notifications, and audit logs. It connects to assistants through MCP and CLI, and can be used as a hosted service or self-hosted.

Squint is a lightweight desktop app that explains anything visible on your screen: press a hotkey, drag a box around what you want explained, and an AI-powered answer streams into a panel without switching apps or uploading files manually.

Website Auditor is a free AI visibility checker that runs an audit to show how large AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) and local search results describe a business, aimed at helping businesses evaluate their AI & local visibility.

DH Tools is a privacy-focused, in-browser suite of 46+ online web and developer utilities (PDF, image editing, AI OCR, JSON, networking, and more) that processes files locally with zero server data retention.
