Dev Useful Stuff

Docker Sandboxes - secure sandboxes for coding agents (Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Kiro) with microVM-based isolation. Run coding agents in isolated environments without giving them full host access. MicroVM-based, so escape resistance is stronger than plain containers. ★ #docker #sandbox #ai #agents #security

Headroom - (★ 65.3k at GitHub) compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they hit the LLM. Drop-in library, HTTP proxy, or MCP server. Claims ~20% token savings on coding-agent traces and 60-95% on JSON payloads with equivalent downstream answers — useful when your context window is the bottleneck, not the model. #llm #ai #tokens #agents #rag

Gridex - (★ 815 at GitHub) is a native cross-platform database IDE for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis. Ships with an MCP server out of the box, and a built-in AI chat that understands your schema — so LLM-driven tools can query your DB and the in-app assistant already knows your tables. #database #sql #mcp #ai #devtools

Buzz - (★ 8.7k at GitHub) is a self-hostable workspace where humans and AI agents share the same rooms, built on a Nostr relay. Another one from Block (Jack Dorsey's company). Every message, reaction, workflow step, review approval, and git event is a signed event in one log — same identity model whether the author is a person or a process. Agents are members, not bots: they get their own keys, channel memberships, and audit trail. #ai #agents #nostr #collaboration #selfhosted

agterm - (★ 291 at GitHub) is a terminal built for agentic flow — a native macOS wrapper around libghostty tuned for running AI coding agents. From Umputun, a very respected and trusted developer in the Go/tools community. Handles multiple concurrent agent sessions, per-session logs, and quick switching without drowning in tmux panes. #ai #terminal #agents #macos #cli

GitButler - (★ 21.3k at GitHub) is a Git client built around virtual branches — work on multiple branches simultaneously in the same working directory. Backed by Git, powered by Tauri/Rust/Svelte. Comes with a CLI (but) alongside the desktop app, and recently added AI-assisted commit splitting and branch organization. #git #vcs #cli #devtools #rust

humanizer - (★ 26k) is a Claude Code / OpenCode skill that strips AI-isms from text. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide, it detects 33 patterns — em dashes, "It's not just X, it's Y", significance inflation, sycophantic openers, rule of three, etc. — and rewrites the text in your voice. Example from the README: Before: AI-assisted coding serves as an enduring testament to the transformative potential of large language models, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of software development. After: AI coding assistants can speed up the boring parts of the job. They're great at boilerplate: config files and the little glue code you don't want to write. #ai #writing #claudecode #cli #skill

OpenTUI - (★ 11.9k at GitHub) is a TypeScript library on a native Zig core for building terminal user interfaces. Worth a look at terminal.shop, a real online coffee shop you can browse and order from entirely inside your terminal — a fun experiment built on this framework. Not sponsored. #tui #cli #typescript #zig

apple/container - (★ 37.4k) is Apple's native Swift tool for running OCI containers as lightweight VMs on Apple silicon, each container in its own VM. Originally unveiled at WWDC25, the project just hit 1.0 at WWDC26 with a headline new feature: container machine — a persistent Linux dev environment that auto-mounts your macOS $HOME at /Users/<you> inside the VM, so you edit on the Mac and build/run on Linux against the same files. Think native, Apple-built alternative to Colima / OrbStack / Lima. Requires macOS 26 + Apple silicon. #mac #containers #docker #apple #wwdc26

Firezone - (★ 8.7k at GitHub) is an enterprise-ready zero-trust access platform built on WireGuard®. Replace your VPN with fine-grained, identity-aware access control. Self-hosted, open source, integrates with any OIDC provider for SSO and MFA. Clients for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and ChromeOS. #vpn #wireguard #zerotrust #security #selfhosted

git-secrets - (★ 13.3k) prevents you from committing passwords and other sensitive information to a git repository. git-secrets scans commits, commit messages, and --no-ff merges to prevent adding secrets into your git repositories. If a commit, commit message, or any commit in a --no-ff merge history matches one of your configured prohibited regular expression patterns, then the commit is rejected. #git #hooks #secrets #security

​​Peekaboo - (★ 4k at GitHub) is Mac automation that sees the screen and does the clicks. It's a macOS CLI & optional MCP server that enables AI agents to capture screenshots of applications, or the entire system, with optional visual question answering through local or remote AI models. #automation #agent #screen

​​PriceGhost - (★ 550) a self-hosted price tracking application that monitors product prices from any website. Get notified when prices drop, hit your target price, or items come back in stock. #monitoring #selfhosted #price

​​career-ops - (★32.6k) AI-powered job search system built on Claude Code. 14 skill modes, Go dashboard, PDF generation, batch processing. And if you are on the job market at the moment, here is another tool for you: Resume-Matcher - (★26.7k at GitHub) creates tailored resumes for each job application with AI-powered suggestions. Works locally with Ollama or connect to your favorite LLM provider via API. (However, tailoring your CV for each job is not the most challenging part. The hardest part then is remembering what you highlighted for each application 🤭 Happy Friday!) #ai #resume #job #aistolemyjob

​​Revdiff - (★ 277 at GitHub) is a TUI for reviewing diffs, files, and documents with inline annotations. Outputs structured annotations to stdout on quit, making it easy to pipe results into AI agents, scripts, or other tools. Built for a specific use case: reviewing code changes, plans, and documents without leaving a terminal-based AI coding session (e.g., Claude Code). Just enough UI to navigate diffs and files, annotate specific lines, and return the results to the calling process - no more, no less. Essentially, it looks as a standard diff tool displaying changes. However, its main feature is adding annotations to modified lines. This is similar to GitHub PR comments we leave for fellow reviewers, but in RevDiff your annotations are returned to Claude Code, which can then fix the issue based on the context. #review #coding #ai

​​macpow - (★ 686) is a real-time power tree TUI for Apple Silicon. macpow reads directly from macOS hardware interfaces — IOReport, SMC, IORegistry, CoreAudio, and Mach/kernel APIs — to show per-component power draw, temperatures, frequencies, CPU utilization, and per-process energy attribution. No sudo required. #useful #mac #silicon #power #battery

​​Glance - (★ 33k) is a self-hosted, lightweight, highly customizable dashboard that puts all your feeds in one place. Various widgets ・RSS feeds ・Subreddit posts ・Hacker News posts ・Weather forecasts ・YouTube channel uploads ・Twitch channels ・Market prices ・Docker containers status ・Server stats ・Custom widgets ・... #dashboard #go #news

​​TablePro - (★ 1.5k at GitHub) is a native macOS database client. Connects to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, SQL Server, and Redshift. Includes a SQL editor with autocomplete, inline editing, and AI assistance. #sql #database #client #ai

​​AWS FinOps dashboard - (★ 1.2k) is an open-source command-line tool for AWS cost monitoring. It provides multi-account cost summaries by time period, service, and cost allocation tags; budget limits vs. actuals; EC2 instance status; six‑month cost trend charts; and “FinOps audit” reports (e.g. untagged or idle resources). #aws #costs #optimisation

​​Meshtastic - (★7k at GitHub) - is an open source, off-grid, decentralized mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices. No cell towers. No internet. Just pure peer-to-peer connectivity. Imagine carrying a radio device flashed with Meshstatic firmware in your backpack. These devices create a mesh network, allowing you to connect to it via your smartphone and send messages securely. These messages travel through the mesh network rather than relying on the internet or cellular networks. Currently, a limited number of devices are supported. For example, the LILYGO TTGO T-echo can be purchased on Amazon. Mesh networks are particularly useful in areas where traditional connectivity is unavailable or unreliable. Think remote forests, rural areas or large gatherings like festivals, open-air events and even protests. As more people use mesh devices, the overall connection becomes more reliable. #mesh #hardware #privacy #messages #connectivity
