Recently updated open-source projects

Hopp lets developers select a teammate and start a low-latency screen-sharing session for remote pair or mob programming without exchanging meeting links. Teams can use the managed service or self-host the backend with Docker Compose. macOS is the stable platform today, while Windows remains alpha and Linux support is planned.

AI Tools Manager is a cross-platform desktop app for organizing accounts across services such as Augment, Windsurf, Cursor, OpenAI, and Claude Code, with quick account switching from one interface. It also combines subscription-expiry reminders, bookmark import and search, and email workflows for iCloud Hide My Email, Outlook, and GPTMail. Users can install a platform package from GitHub Releases, and macOS users also have a Homebrew cask.

Wizards of the Ghosts is an unofficial Hermes Agent skill pack that maps 123 fantasy spell and skill names to practical modes for investigation, planning, monitoring, repair, messaging, and automation. Its generated surfaces can be installed into Hermes or OpenClaw, and the same spells are exposed as slash commands in Claude Code. The pack is mainly procedural Markdown that guides reasoning and operating patterns inside an existing agent session. References to external APIs or systems do not mean the repository ships dedicated integrations for them.

BilibiliVideoDownload is a desktop downloader for Windows, macOS, and Linux that handles regular videos, series, multipart content, and movies that do not require an extra purchase. It can also save covers, subtitles, and danmaku. Available resolution depends on authentication: up to 480p without login, 1080p for a standard account, and up to 8K for eligible premium accounts. Paid and region-restricted videos are unsupported, and bundled FFmpeg makes the installer relatively large.

Pexo adds a multi-shot video workflow to Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other compatible agents. It accepts text, images, webpages, scripts, or audio, then selects models, plans shots, creates assets, and assembles voiceover, music, subtitles, transitions, and lip sync into a finished video. The workflow requires a Pexo API key.

@polkadot/apps provides a visual portal for exploring and interacting with supported Polkadot and Substrate chains. Users can open the hosted web application or run it through IPFS, Docker, or a local node; the desktop edition offers the same general interface while storing encrypted accounts on the local filesystem by default. Chain developers can customize API types, settings, and branding through the repository's configuration package.

YTubic is an unofficial YouTube Music client for Windows 10 and 11 that uses the InnerTube API, its own interface, and aggressive caching instead of wrapping the full website. Anonymous browsing and playback work without signing in, while an account adds access to playlists, likes, and the user’s library; synced lyrics, a floating player, and Windows media controls are also included. Audio streaming depends on yt-dlp and may break when YouTube changes its internals, and current release builds are unsigned, so Windows security warnings are expected.

Windscribe Desktop is the Windows, macOS, and Linux client for the Windscribe VPN service. It supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, and several obfuscation protocols, along with firewall protection, per-app or network split tunneling, custom VPN configurations, and automatic connection rules. Its DNS-based blocker can filter ads, trackers, malware, and custom domains, and the client can expose an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy to other devices on the network.

qapyq is a desktop media curator for preparing large image and video datasets used in LoRA and diffusion workflows. It combines browsing, filtering, caption and tag editing, cropping, scaling, masking, statistics, and batch operations, with optional local or SSH-based model inference. Users can install only the graphical and media-processing components when AI assistance is unnecessary. It requires Python 3.10 or later, and video export additionally depends on FFmpeg.

Owncast combines live video, a web player, and chat in a self-hosted single-user server, giving streamers control over their content, interface, moderation, and audience. Existing RTMP broadcasting tools such as OBS or Streamlabs can usually point to an Owncast instance instead of a mainstream platform. Windows servers are not supported natively, though deployment through WSL2 is documented.

PyGPT brings cloud providers and local Ollama models into one desktop assistant for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports chat, document retrieval, voice interaction, and agent workflows through an extensible plugin system. Some plugins can read or write files and execute generated Python or system commands, so users should understand and tightly control tool permissions before enabling host execution.

This collection gives Claude Code reusable workflows for MCP connections, presentations, programmatic video, SOPs, skill creation, and consistent brand voice. Detailed guidance loads only when a task calls for it, keeping the working context focused. Some skills work immediately, while MCP, presentation, and Remotion workflows require their own configuration or project setup.

rqbit handles BitTorrent downloads through a command line, Web UI, desktop wrapper, HTTP API, or embeddable Rust library. It supports magnet links, resuming existing files, selective downloads, pausing, rate limits, and streaming with seeking while a download is in progress. An integrated UPnP media server can expose managed torrents to televisions and other devices on the local network. Desktop releases are provided for macOS and Windows; the Linux desktop wrapper must be built manually.

Apple-Hig-Designer is a Claude Code skill for shaping web and mobile interfaces around Apple Human Interface Guidelines, including typography, system colors, an eight-point spacing grid, component patterns, animation, and accessibility. After installing it at user or project level, users can request Apple-style screens or blend HIG foundations with another visual direction. Bundled React examples, CSS design tokens, and reference material support generation, but it is not a standalone visual design application.

Simplenote for Electron is the official Simplenote desktop client for Windows and Linux, using React for the interface, Electron for packaging, and Simperium for synchronization. Regular users can install the released application, but local development currently requires an existing test-server account or access to production credentials, and development builds do not support sharing or publishing API features. The repository also includes testing and packaging workflows.

Nheko provides a mainstream desktop-chat experience for Matrix, covering rooms, invitations, file and media messages, replies, notifications, read receipts, stickers, and custom emoji. It also supports end-to-end encryption and voice or video calls where the platform permits. The encryption implementation is described as mostly stable but has never been audited, so the project makes no security guarantees.

Dr JSkill is an Agent Skill for creating Spring Boot applications according to a defined set of Java development practices. It guides compatible coding assistants through generating projects from start.spring.io and configuring Java 25, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, monitoring, Docker builds, and a choice of Vue, React, Angular, or vanilla JavaScript. The repository also includes references for databases, testing, deployment, and a hands-on workshop. It is not a standalone scaffolding application and must be loaded by a supported agent such as GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code.

Spring AI Agent Utils gives Java developers a reusable toolkit for building coding assistants and multi-agent workflows with Spring AI, covering file and shell access, code and web tools, task state, memory, and extensible skills. It is distributed as Maven modules with examples, requires Java 17 or newer, and includes an A2A module for delegating to remote subagents.
