MemPlato

Live

Turns your Android phone into a self-hosted MCP server so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor or Perplexity can pull your personal memory without sending data to the cloud. Aimed at developers already using MCP-compatible tools.

Works offlineData stays with youOpen sourceNo subscription
What to know▼
How it works
Turns an Android phone into a self-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server by installing a Python MCP server inside Termux, with a secure tunnel giving the phone a stable public HTTPS URL that AI clients like Claude, Cursor or Perplexity can connect to for persistent memory.
What's different
Data is stored locally on the user's own phone instead of a vendor's cloud, with no subscription or vendor lock-in.
Pricing
No subscription.
Best for
Developers already using MCP-compatible AI tools who want to own their memory data instead of storing it in the cloud.
Watch out
Relies on a relay tunnel (relay.memplato.com) and requires Termux running on the phone, with a watchdog to restart the server if the phone reboots or Termux closes.

kysigned

Live

Lets you e-sign a document by forwarding it via email, using your provider's DKIM signature as proof instead of a signing company; open source, self-hosted or hosted, pay-per-document.

No sign-upWorks offlineOpen sourceNo subscription
What to know▼
How it works
Forward a document to the service and type 'I sign this document' — your email provider's existing DKIM signature becomes the proof of signing, bundled into one self-contained file anyone can verify offline in a browser.
What's different
No third-party signing company is trusted with the signature — the proof relies entirely on infrastructure (DKIM) that already exists and would still verify even if this service disappeared.
Pricing
4 free signatures, then $0.25 per document, no subscription. Open source (Apache-2.0) — self-host or use the hosted version.
Best for
People who need a lightweight, verifiable e-signature for occasional documents without paying for a full e-signature platform subscription.
Watch out
The provider states it never holds a signing key and can't forge or alter documents — that's the product's own security claim, not independently audited.
