Your own personal AI assistant for messaging, work, and the web
OpenClaw is an MIT-licensed open-source personal AI assistant that runs its own gateway and works from WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and other connected channels.
AI coding agent for terminal, editor, and desktop
OpenCode is an MIT-licensed AI coding agent available through terminal, desktop, and IDE clients. It supports hosted providers and local models. Code handling depends on the selected provider; optional session sharing uploads conversation history to OpenCode's sharing service.
Open-source terminal-native AI agent harness from Nous Research
Hermes Agent is Nous Research's open-source terminal-native agent harness that plans and executes supervised tasks on the user's own machine.
Visual workflow automation with room to drop into code
n8n sits between a no-code automation builder and a scripting environment. Workflows are assembled on a canvas from several hundred integrations, and any node in that canvas can be replaced with a JavaScript or Python function when the visual version stops being expressive enough.
Turn any website into clean, model-ready data
Firecrawl handles the unglamorous part of feeding the web to a language model: rendering JavaScript, following pagination, stripping navigation and cookie banners, and returning markdown or structured JSON that a model can actually use.
Run open language models locally with one command
Ollama reduced local model hosting from an afternoon of CUDA troubleshooting to a single pull command. It handles model download, quantisation selection, GPU offloading, and memory management, and exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on localhost.
Build and deploy AI agents and RAG pipelines visually
Dify is where a prompt experiment becomes something a team can operate. Workflows are assembled on a canvas, datasets are indexed and versioned, and every deployment gets an API endpoint with logging and cost tracking attached.
Drag-and-drop builder for agents and RAG pipelines
Langflow turns pipeline construction into a graph you can see. Components are Python underneath, so a flow that outgrows the canvas can be exported and run as code rather than rebuilt.
One chat interface for every model you run or connect
Open WebUI is the front end that turns a local inference server into something a household or a team can actually use. It handles accounts, conversation history, document retrieval, and model switching, and speaks to both local runtimes and hosted APIs.
Collaborative whiteboard with a hand-drawn look
Excalidraw's sketchy rendering is not decoration. Diagrams that look provisional invite comment, where a crisp vector diagram signals a decision already made, so it is unusually good at the early part of a design conversation.
Inference engine that runs LLMs on almost any hardware
llama.cpp is the layer most local model tooling is built on. It is a C and C++ inference engine with no Python runtime, aggressive quantisation support, and hand-tuned kernels for a remarkably wide range of hardware.
Remote desktop you can point at your own relay server
RustDesk is remote desktop software where the relay server is a binary you can run yourself. That is the whole argument: the same convenience as the commercial tools, without your screen sessions transiting a vendor's infrastructure.
Self-hosted photo and video backup for your own server
Immich replaces a cloud photo service with software that runs on hardware you own. Mobile apps for iOS and Android back up new photos and videos in the background, so the library on your server stays current without you thinking about it.
Free 2D and 3D game engine with no royalties
Godot ships a complete engine, editor, and export pipeline under the MIT licence, which means no royalties, no revenue thresholds, and no licensing conversation before a project starts.
Let AI agents drive a real browser
Browser Use gives an agent a real browser rather than an HTTP client. It handles the translation between a model's intent and DOM actions, keeps a structured representation of the page in context, and recovers from the usual navigation failures.
Postgres-powered backend platform for production apps
Supabase gives an application everything it needs on the server side without hiding the database behind a proprietary abstraction. The primitive is plain Postgres, and the platform layers authentication, generated APIs, storage, realtime subscriptions, and edge functions on top of it.
Extensible terminal AI coding agent with model choice and tree-structured sessions
Pi is an extensible terminal AI coding agent with a small core, multi-provider model choice, tree sessions, and a TypeScript extension system.
Hyperextensible Vim-based text editor
Neovim is a hyperextensible Vim-based text editor with built-in Lua scripting and remote-plugin APIs, maintained by its community without a corporate owner.
Open-source app people use to manage AI agents for work
Paperclip is an open-source app for managing teams of AI agents for work, with org charts, goals, budgets, and governance, self-hosted via local install, Docker, or a server.
Autonomous agents that complete real engineering tasks
OpenHands runs agents that plan and execute multi-step engineering work: reading a repository, editing files, running tests, and iterating until a task is done. Each agent works inside a sandboxed runtime rather than on the host machine.
Local-first smart home automation with no cloud dependency
Home Assistant runs on a box in your house and talks to devices directly rather than through their manufacturers' servers. That single design decision is why automations keep working when the internet is down, and why a discontinued cloud service does not brick your lights.
Share files to nearby devices.
LocalSend is a free, open-source app that sends files and text directly between nearby devices over the local network, with no account, cloud, or internet needed.
Video editor that runs entirely in the browser
OpenCut is a timeline video editor that installs nothing and uploads nothing. Media stays in the browser, processing happens locally through WebCodecs, and there is no account step before you can cut a clip.
Fast, collaborative, AI-assisted open source code editor
Zed is a free, open source code editor written in Rust and built by Zed Industries, the company founded by the creators of the Atom editor. It targets developers who feel mainstream JavaScript-based editors waste the performance of modern hardware, pairing GPU-accelerated rendering with a local-first architecture that keeps files on disk.
