  OpenPlanter

  2.8k

  OpenPlanter is an investigation agent aimed at researchers or analysts who need to connect disparate public and internal datasets. It combines a desktop application with a terminal-oriented CLI, letting users explore evidence chains, inspect reasoning steps, and manage investigation sessions while the agent works through files, web search, shell commands, and delegated subtasks.

  The desktop app presents a three-pane workflow with session controls, model settings, a chat-style reasoning view, and an interactive knowledge graph that updates as entities and relationships are discovered. The CLI can run interactively or headlessly, supports recursive sub-agent delegation, and can use multiple LLM providers, including local Ollama models. The project also supports Docker-based deployment and can be built from source for both the desktop and CLI components.

  HolyArrs

  984

  HolyArrs is a self-hosted media automation app aimed at people who want to browse, request, and manage shows, movies, and music from one interface. It positions itself as a replacement for a stack of separate tools such as Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, and Overseerr, reducing the number of logins, ports, and API keys needed to run a home media workflow.

  The project runs in Docker and exposes a single web interface on port 6262. It connects to configured sources, applies user-defined pick rules, sends chosen releases to a downloader, and files the media into the library. The project also highlights request approvals, subtitles, a calendar view, migration tools, and encrypted storage for keys and passwords, making it suitable for self-hosters who want a more integrated media management experience.

  editor

  829

  BenchUp is a Rust-based 3D modeling application focused on woodworking and furniture design. It helps users plan boards, joints, assemblies, dimensions, and workshop-ready outputs before building, and it can run as a native desktop program on Windows, macOS, and Linux or in a browser through WebAssembly.

  The project targets makers who need precise, measurement-driven modeling rather than general-purpose CAD. Its workspace includes drawing and editing tools, snapping, groups and components, undo/redo, local autosave, and portable project files with legacy import support. It also adds woodworking-specific capabilities such as joinery, grain orientation, cut lists, labels, and export options for sharing plans and estimates.

  dalibre

  338

  Dalibre is a desktop e-book library application for working with calibre libraries. It is written in Go and uses MyGo’s native UI, with an emphasis on being fast, small, and self-contained as a single binary.

  The project is aimed at users who manage calibre-based libraries and want a native desktop tool for browsing, editing metadata, and organizing books. It also includes a plugin system for adding book sources, built-in metadata sources such as Project Gutenberg and Google Books, and an MCP server so external agents can search the library, edit metadata, add books, and convert formats.

  Sure

  13.0k+2.3k

  Sure is a community-maintained fork of the abandoned Maybe Finance project. It presents itself as a fully working personal finance application aimed at people who want to manage money and wealth data in a self-hosted environment.

  The project emphasizes that the app can be run with Docker for self-hosting, while also providing local development instructions for contributors. It requires Ruby, PostgreSQL, and Redis, and it includes optional demo data plus default demo credentials for trying the app locally. The project is distributed under AGPLv3 and is positioned as a continuation of the original codebase rather than a separate commercial product.

  herdr

  50.4k+2.2k

  Herdr is a terminal-based runtime for coding agents, designed for people who run tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Opencode, and similar agent workflows. It acts as a background server that owns terminal sessions so work can continue even if the user closes the lid, loses network connectivity, or restarts the machine.

  The project is aimed at developers who want persistent, inspectable agent sessions with minimal friction. It emphasizes a tmux-like experience with both keyboard and mouse interaction, pane status visibility, and a socket API that agents can use directly. The project also highlights plugin support and remote reattachment over SSH, suggesting it is meant for local and remote interactive workflows rather than a hosted SaaS product.

  hex

  6.4k+1.3k

  Hex is a desktop voice dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is aimed at users who want to dictate text into any application while keeping transcription local rather than sending audio to a cloud service.

  The workflow is simple: the user holds a shortcut, speaks, and releases the key to paste the transcription into the current app. The project says the first launch downloads a speech model, after which nothing leaves the machine. It also provides downloadable builds for multiple platforms, plus installation via Homebrew, AUR, a Linux install script, and Nix. Experimental features are grouped under a Labs section in the sidebar, and additional documentation is available in the docs directory.

  iSponsorBlockTV

  7.1k+499

  iSponsorBlockTV is a self-hosted utility for people who watch YouTube through TV apps and want playback interruptions reduced automatically. It works with YouTube TV-compatible devices and uses the SponsorBlock API to identify segments such as sponsorships and intros, then skips them during playback. It also offers ad-related automation, including muting ads and pressing the Skip Ad button as soon as it appears.

  The project is aimed at users who run their own instance on a computer rather than relying on a hosted service. Setup can be done through auto-discovery on the local network or by manually pairing a device using a YouTube TV code. The project lists compatibility across many TV and console platforms, and notes that a graphical configurator is available through the Textual-based interface.

  Flagsmith

  7.1k+474

  Flagsmith is an open-source feature flagging platform designed to help teams ship software faster and control releases more safely. It lets users roll out features gradually, segment audiences, and manage release behavior across web, mobile, and server-side applications. The project positions it as a tool for teams that need granular control over feature deployment and remote configuration.

  The project includes organization, project, and role management for team members, along with SDKs for many languages and frameworks so applications can integrate with feature flags in code. It can be self-hosted using Docker Compose, and the documentation also advertises a hosted SaaS offering and an interactive demo. The core platform is open source, while some enterprise governance and management capabilities require a paid enterprise license.

It can use either Spotify Soloist or the built-in librespot player, includes theme controls and desktop integrations, and offers extra presentation modes such as a Winamp-style mini player and MilkDrop visualizations.
