  • Dicty.io

    dicty.io

  • Crest

    crestnotch.app

    A Mac app for developers that surfaces a waiting Claude Code or Codex approval prompt on the MacBook notch, so an agent run stops idling while you are in another window.

  • MacUp

    macup.patriciobcs.com

    A free, open-source macOS menu bar app that finds every package manager on your Mac, such as Homebrew, npm, pip, and Cargo, and updates what is outdated in one click.

  • Leftovers

    arpwal.github.io

    A free, open-source macOS menu-bar app that finds the dev servers, builds and MCP server copies that coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex leave running, measuring each process's real memory footprint including what has been swapped out.

  • md++

    github.com

    A lightweight Markdown reader for Windows and macOS that opens a .md file on double-click, with a built-in file-watch mode that highlights and steps through external changes like a diff tool.

  • A small, free Mac app for reading Markdown files, with no editing, account or tracking, handy for reports and handoffs that AI coding agents leave behind.

  • rvQR

    github.com

    Transfers files between two devices with no network, by animating one device's screen as a stream of QR codes for the other device's camera to read.

  • Splash Monitor

    github.com

    A native macOS menu bar and desktop app that monitors Inco AI's Splash local inference engine, showing live token throughput, memory use, and installed models, and offering one-click model installation and server control.

  • Echo

    github.com

    An experimental macOS prototype that uses the Accessibility API and the OpenAI API to send prompts to the frontmost application's text area and show the response in a chat-like interface.

  • Locally

    github.com

    A native desktop app, built with Rust and Tauri, that gives a single dashboard over every local development project, with visual package management and dependency tracking across React, Angular, Next.js and Vue projects.

  • A cross-platform Rust daemon that prevents AI coding workloads from filling a disk, predicting storage pressure and reclaiming space through deterministic, explainable artifact cleanup and ballast pools before builds or agents crash.

  • A clipboard-monitoring tool that watches for code copied from any LLM chat, parses unified diffs, patches or full snippets, and applies them to the right files in an existing codebase automatically.

  • Local LLM

    github.com

    This is a PowerToys Run plugin that lets a Windows user query a local Ollama model directly from the PowerToys Run launcher, choosing which pulled model to ask on the fly.

  • AI Light

    github.com

    A cross-platform desktop traffic-light widget that shows the live status of Claude Code and Codex sessions grouped by project, turning red when input is needed, yellow while the agent works and green when it finishes.

  • PortOS

    github.com

    A self-hosted dashboard for a developer's own machine that manages running apps, orchestrates AI agents, and tracks personal knowledge and health, all reachable from any device over Tailscale.

  • Skiller

    skiller.download

    A desktop application that installs, syncs and manages AI agent skills across many coding tools at once, so a skill added in one place propagates to every supported agent instead of being configured separately in each.

  • Worktree Manager

    guoyongchang.github.io

    A desktop GUI for managing Git worktrees, letting a developer work on several branches at once across multiple repositories with shared dependencies, a built-in terminal and MCP integration.

  • VibePad

    vibepad.now

    A macOS menu bar app that maps a game controller's buttons and sticks to keyboard shortcuts, mouse movement and clicks, tuned for controlling AI coding assistants such as Claude Code and Codex CLI without touching a keyboard.

  • Gargantua

    gargantua.inceptyon.io

    A native macOS cleaner for developers that scans caches, build artifacts, duplicate files and app remnants, classifies each finding by risk, and explains why it is safe or risky before deleting anything.

  • lpm

    lpm.cx

    A native macOS desktop app that starts, stops and duplicates development projects with one click, with a built-in terminal for running AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex alongside project services.

  • TIPS Prompt Manager

    nextweb4.github.io

    An offline Windows desktop app for organizing, searching and copying prompts, storing them in a local SQLite database with no browser, account or network connection.

  • IsGPTNerfed

    github.com

    A macOS menu-bar tool that checks whether Codex is actually using the model you selected, by reading Codex's own per-turn model records and periodically fingerprinting the live model with a bias test on random-number generation.

  • Starcat

    starcat.ink

    A native macOS app that turns a user's starred GitHub repositories into an organized, locally searchable, AI-assisted knowledge base instead of an unmanageable bookmark list.
