01
Brainstorm is a privacy focused operating system designed to manage your knowledge and apps entirely on your own machine. By keeping your data on your local disk rather than the cloud, it provides a secure environment where you retain full control. The platform uses a modular shell that hosts sandboxed apps like notes, databases, and calendars, all sharing a unified data structure. Built for AI integration, Brainstorm allows you to govern how artificial intelligence interacts with your files through a centralized broker. You can bring your own API keys or use local models to ensure that your sensitive information remains private. With optional end to end encrypted sync and no account requirements, it is a truly open and transparent workspace for managing your digital life.
02
If your AI agent lacks quality data, its advice will always be generic. OpenSEO provides essential keyword research, competitor analysis, backlink data, and site audits starting at just 10 dollars a month, saving you from expensive 100 dollar subscriptions. By connecting with MCP, you can collaborate with your agent to build a custom SEO strategy and create content that feels truly tailored to your specific business needs.
03
Ditto turns any existing website into clean, componentized code for Next.js or Vite in just a few minutes. Because the process is deterministic, you get consistent results every time, including all the tokens, hover states, and interactions you need. It is an open source tool that includes a free REST API and an MCP server, making it a great way to jumpstart your development projects.

Skim is a clean, open-source email client for Windows built with performance in mind. It strips away all the bloat like calendars and complex rules, leaving you with a fast, responsive interface that loads in a snap. Since it is a local-first application, your data stays private and works offline. You can also integrate your own AI keys to have it draft replies or answer questions based on your emails.
