Local macOS scanner that blocks secrets and PII from leaking into AI coding-tool prompts, for engineers who don't want to rely on cloud DLP.

Domain registered 4 months ago

FreeWorks offline
What to know
How it works
A macOS app that scans prompts in real time before they reach AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot, flagging leaked API keys, credentials, and PII using 47 local detection rules in under 50ms.
What's different
Detection happens on-device before data leaves the machine, and uses soft notifications instead of hard blocks so it doesn't interrupt the coding flow.
Pricing
Free 15MB macOS application for engineers; an early-access dashboard is offered separately for organizations.
Best for
Engineers using AI coding assistants who want to avoid pasting live secrets into prompts.

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.

A desktop coding harness built specifically around open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi, instead of bolting them onto a Claude or GPT-first interface as an afterthought.

FreeWorks offline
What to know
How it works
A desktop AI coding harness built around open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax) instead of Claude/GPT, using a structural + lexical code-retrieval engine (Blueprint) that builds a real dependency graph of the codebase rather than embeddings or a vector DB.
What's different
Built specifically for open-weight models' weaker context discipline, instead of treating them as an afterthought behind a Claude/GPT-first interface.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Developers who want to use open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, or Kimi for coding with retrieval built for their limitations.
Watch out
Depends on local tools like Ollama and MCP — offline/no-cloud setup requires configuring those dependencies yourself.

A native Windows overlay app that combines clipboard history, encrypted clips, and other utilities in one hotkey-accessible tool, aimed at power users who want to stop juggling separate apps.

FreeNo sign-upWorks offlineNo tracking
What to know
How it works
A native Windows overlay app that bundles five tools into one hotkey-accessible panel: clipboard history search, text-expansion snippets, screen capture with OCR, and others.
What's different
Combines multiple utilities (clipboard manager, text expander, screen capture) into one unified overlay instead of running them as separate apps.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Windows power users who currently juggle separate clipboard, snippet, and screenshot tools.
Watch out
Runs locally with no cloud sync — clips stay on one machine unless the app supports cross-device sync elsewhere.

A CLI linter that statically checks JSON schemas against each LLM provider's constraints so they don't fail at runtime.

Works offline
What to know
How it works
A CLI that statically lints JSON schemas/tool definitions against each LLM provider's documented constraints (e.g. Anthropic-rejected keywords, missing additionalProperties), pointing to the exact JSON-Pointer path and reason, with a repair pass that emits a best-effort provider-valid variant.
What's different
Makes no model calls, needs no API key, and has zero runtime dependencies.
Best for
Teams whose schemas work on one LLM provider but 400 on another.

What's different
Positioned as a free alternative to Wispr Flow, fully offline if you skip the AI cleanup step.
Pricing
Free, open-source.
