Recently updated open-source projects

Meta Quest Agentic Tools packages skills for Quest and Horizon OS development around the metavr CLI and its MCP server. Compatible coding assistants can install or launch applications, inspect logs and files, capture screenshots, trace performance, and search developer documentation. The bundle also includes workflows for Android app porting, API upgrades, WebXR, and immersive experience review. Node.js 18 or later is required, and on-device workflows need a Meta Quest headset with Developer Mode enabled.

Widelands is a free real-time strategy game inspired by Settlers II, with its own expanded variety and depth. It includes single-player campaigns and a multiplayer mode, making it suitable for solo play or matches with others. The project supports building and running on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Its code is licensed under GPL v2 or later, while some game assets use separate Creative Commons licenses documented in their respective folders.

Glass is a desktop meeting and context assistant that combines on-screen activity with live audio to produce notes, summaries, action items, and answers based on earlier screen and sound history. Keyboard shortcuts let users show the interface or ask a question on demand, and the project states that the window stays out of recordings, screenshots, and the Dock. A ready-to-run macOS app is available, while Windows support is beta. Users can connect OpenAI or Gemini, or use local Ollama and Whisper models.

Laminar is an observability platform for tracing AI agent runs, defining behavioral signals, running evaluations, building dashboards, and preparing datasets. Its SDKs instrument supported AI frameworks, while alerts can notify Slack when a described failure pattern appears. Evaluations run locally or in CI, and coding agents can inspect traces through CLI or MCP access. Teams can use the managed service or self-host with Docker; self-hosted deployments collect anonymous usage telemetry unless it is explicitly disabled.

DSPy Agent Skills helps Claude Code, Codex, and compatible agents build, evaluate, and optimize DSPy programs, from core modules and evaluation to GEPA, RLM, and end-to-end workflows. The pack is validated against the DSPy 3.2.x API and includes runnable examples with offline dry-run modes. Python 3.10 or newer is required, while Deno is needed only for the RLM examples.

paper-fetch is a dependency-free Python CLI and agent skill that resolves a DOI—or a title first matched through Crossref and Semantic Scholar—into a PDF using a multi-source fallback chain. It supports batch files or stdin, NDJSON streaming, idempotent retries, consistent filenames, and checks for SSRF, valid PDF bytes, and size limits. The final fallbacks can include publisher access and Sci-Hub mirrors, which are enabled by default as a last resort, so users should review source selection and their access rights.

Mercury Skills collects 132 SKILL.md playbooks across 23 categories in a searchable registry with detail pages, trending rankings, and local bookmarks. Skills can be installed through the Mercury CLI with version pinning and rollback safeguards, or copied directly into an agent’s skill directory. The same format is intended for Mercury, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, while public JSON feeds let other tools consume the catalog.

FlyAI connects Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other compatible agents to Fliggy travel inventory. Users describe dates, destinations, and preferences in Chinese or English, then receive structured JSON for flights, hotels, attractions, concerts, and related options. Agents can filter, compare, or render the results, and items may include direct booking links. Basic use works without configuration, while an optional API key enables enhanced access. The workflow requires both the skill and its Node.js CLI, so it is not a standalone booking app.

Amical is a local-first dictation application that turns speech into text through a global shortcut and floating control. It detects the active application and can format output differently for an email, chat, coding prompt, or other writing context, while current releases also support hotkeys, voice macros, and custom workflows. Whisper and open-source models can run on the user's machine for offline processing. Smart note generation is still in progress, while MCP app control and meeting transcription are listed as planned rather than finished features.

Fetch recent non-Shorts videos from selected channels, extract transcripts, use Claude to turn them into magazine-style articles, and package the results as an EPUB. Optional features include email delivery and a Streamlit dashboard. The project requires API configuration, and its documentation recommends local execution when cloud hosts are blocked by YouTube.

Flying Carpet sends files between Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows devices over ad hoc Wi-Fi, without a router, cellular connection, or preconfigured network share. It is useful for moving large files between different platforms when only nearby Wi-Fi-capable devices are available. Apple devices cannot use it for Apple-to-Apple transfers, and some transfer modes temporarily interrupt the existing wireless internet connection.

Awesome Electron Alternatives is a curated reference for developers evaluating desktop stacks outside Electron. It groups frameworks, runtimes, and GUI toolkits by languages such as C#, C/C++, Java, JavaScript or TypeScript, Python, and others, with short descriptions and license information. The list is useful for forming an initial shortlist when size, memory use, source protection, or an existing web component makes Electron undesirable. It is a directory, not a build tool or a substitute for validating each project’s current support.

Meme Search turns a local meme collection into a searchable web library. You can upload or mount image folders, generate descriptions, edit tags, and retrieve images through semantic or keyword search. Image captioning, embeddings, and search run locally by default, while an OpenAI-compatible vision endpoint can be selected for description generation. The Docker-hosted interface has no built-in authentication, so it should remain on localhost or behind an authenticated proxy or VPN.

Gophie gives users a graphical way to navigate Gopher space, read text and menus, view images, search, and download files. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a portable JAR option that requires Java 8 or newer. HTML content is not fully rendered inside the app, so related links may open in the system web browser.

Outerbase Studio is a lightweight browser interface for managing SQL databases. It supports SQLite and related services such as LibSQL, Cloudflare D1, and rqlite, with query, data, schema, and connection-management tools. MySQL and PostgreSQL support is currently beta with limited features. A Windows and macOS desktop wrapper is available when a database driver cannot run in the browser.

uPic is a macOS client for sending images and files to a configured hosting service or object store. Upload from Finder, the clipboard, a screenshot, drag and drop, the Share extension, or the command line, then receive a URL, HTML snippet, or Markdown link on the clipboard. It supports several providers plus custom upload APIs. The project notes that only the App Store build is current, while other installation channels remain on an older release.

simple-peer wraps WebRTC in a concise Node.js-style API that runs in browsers and Node.js. It supports video and voice streams plus text or binary data channels, with a Node duplex-stream interface for server-side use. Advanced options cover trickle ICE, custom configuration, transceivers, and renegotiation, making it a small communication layer rather than a complete calling service.

Flexx is a pure-Python GUI toolkit that renders interfaces with web technology and uses PScript to generate the required browser-side JavaScript. Developers can target cross-platform desktop applications, web applications, standalone HTML documents, and Jupyter notebooks with the same toolkit. It requires Python 3.5 or newer; desktop mode also needs Firefox or NW.js, and projects should keep regular Python and PScript code clearly separated.
