A plugin that records what an AI coding agent did, turns those observations into searchable summaries, and brings the relevant decisions and fixes into a later session.

A skill, plus an optional proxy, that makes an AI coding agent write in clipped fragments instead of full explanatory prose.

A set of pipelines that turn an AI coding assistant into a video production line: you describe the video you want in plain language and the agent researches the topic, writes a script, gathers or generates footage, cuts a timeline and renders the result.

Ponytail is a plug-in skill that teaches AI coding assistants to write less code: the agent learns to prefer the shortest change that works — the project frames it as thinking "like the laziest senior dev in the room." The creator measured it on real Claude Code sessions across twelve feature tasks and reports about 54% less code on average (up to 94% where the agent would otherwise over-build, as with a date picker), roughly 20% lower cost and 27% faster runs, with every safety guard kept.

OpenRig turns a pile of AI coding-assistant windows into an organized team: you describe the team in a YAML settings file, start it with one command, and it runs Claude Code, Codex and Pi with roles, shared context and owned tasks.

A remote desktop application written in Rust that works out of the box with no configuration, as an open alternative to commercial tools like TeamViewer and AnyDesk.

An open agent workspace that gives an AI chat access to your company’s context, then lets it create small apps — called gadgets — inside separate sandboxes.

SCM (Screen Memories) lets you find photos and moments inside videos on your Mac by typing what you remember, such as a scene or a sign you saw.

Get one alert before sunset when tonight’s sky will stay clear long enough to photograph the stars, and silence when it won’t.

ldraw-nova gives an AI agent the tools to design LEGO models from a written idea.

Audionaut is a free desktop audio editor for music, podcasts and multitrack recordings: cut audio into regions, arrange them in per-track playlists, add crossfades and export, without the weight of a full music studio app.

Janus is a small local AI server written in Go: give it a GGUF model file (a compressed model format that runs on ordinary hardware) and it answers through an OpenAI-compatible API, the same request format OpenAI uses, so tools like Cursor or Cline can talk to it instead of a cloud service.

Pyxel is a game engine for making small retro-style games in Python, deliberately limited like an old console: 16 colours and 4 sound channels.

Weave Router sits between a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi or Cursor) and the AI providers, and picks a model from your enabled providers for each request.

Ledge is a notes app that runs the code inside your notes: put your cursor in a fenced block (a code snippet in a Markdown file), press ⌘↩, and the output streams in underneath.

A 740-million-parameter embedding model from Google DeepMind that turns text, code, images, video and audio into vectors in one shared 768-dimensional space.

An accelerated 7-billion-parameter image model for making pictures from text and editing an existing image.
