HeimWall

Live

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.

ShardStitch

Live

Recovers your work, git diff, uncommitted changes, architecture notes, when an AI coding tool like Claude, Codex or Cursor hits its limit, fully offline, one-time payment.

Domain registered 1 month ago

Works offlinePay onceNo subscriptionNo tracking
What to know▼
How it works
When an AI coding tool like Claude, Codex, Gemini, or Cursor hits its usage limit, ShardStitch recovers what's still on disk — git diff, uncommitted work, architecture notes, and last intent — without needing the AI tool itself. It can hand off that recovered context across 23 AI tools or restart clean in the same one.
What's different
Recovers session state entirely from local disk, without depending on the AI tool that hit its limit.
Pricing
One-time payment, no subscription.
Best for
Developers who rely on AI coding tools and lose in-progress context when a session hits its limit.
Watch out
Runs 100% local with zero telemetry, per the product's own claim — this hasn't been independently verified.

Pricing
Free.
Best for
Developers using AI coding agents who want a record of exactly what those agents changed on their machine.

Gives AI coding assistants persistent memory: it indexes your codebase with vector search, saves every conversation, and connects to Zed, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP-compatible tools, running on embedded PostgreSQL + pgvector.
What's different
100% local-first with no cloud required, unlike most AI memory tools.
Pricing
$25/year, no tiers; beta testers get lifetime access for a $25 one-time payment.
Best for
Developers using AI coding assistants who want persistent, local memory of their codebase across sessions and team members.

Toolport

Live

A local gateway that lets every AI coding client share one set of MCP server connections instead of configuring each tool separately, cutting how many tools your agent has to load.

FreeNo sign-upWorks offlineOpen source
What to know▼
How it works
A local-first, open-source gateway. You set up and authenticate each MCP server once, and every connected AI client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex — shares that same connection instead of you configuring it per tool.
What's different
Claims up to 91% less tool-token overhead by giving an agent a handful of meta-tools instead of loading hundreds of individual tool definitions; API keys stay in the OS keychain.
Pricing
Free, open source, no sign-up.
Best for
Developers running multiple AI coding clients against the same set of MCP servers who don't want to re-authenticate each one separately.
Watch out
The '91% overhead cut' figure is the product's own claim; we haven't independently benchmarked it.

Pluks

Live

A clipboard manager for macOS and Windows that copies text the instant you select it, no Ctrl+C needed, plus a searchable history of your last 200 clips.

FreeNo sign-upWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
A clipboard manager for macOS and Windows (beta) that copies text the instant you select it — no Ctrl+C/Cmd+C needed — then long-press to paste, or press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to open a searchable history of your last 200 clips.
What's different
Brings the select-to-copy behavior Linux users know from PRIMARY selection to Mac and Windows; traditional clipboard managers only store history after you explicitly press copy.

macOS and Windows users who want copy-paste without the extra keystroke.
Watch out
The Windows version is in beta.

FreeWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
Keeps your remaining AI capacity and reset times visible above the Windows taskbar, alerting you when a limit comes back early or partially restores; hovering shows per-model and per-project breakdowns and an equivalent API cost.
Pricing
Free and local-first.
Watch out
Windows only; works with Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and Copilot.

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.

AI writing tool for authors that keeps persistent character and story lore linked to your draft, with local markdown files.

Domain registered 6 years ago

Works offline
What to know▼
How it works
Keeps a persistent Story Bible of character and lore details linked to the draft so context isn't lost across a long project, allows safe pipeline testing of editorial prompts on samples first, and stores everything as local markdown files.
What's different
Brings code-level context management to writers by turning Cursor into a local creative studio.
Watch out
100% local — markdown files stay entirely on the user's disk.

mcpfold

Live

A CLI and proxy that curates your MCP server config and shares it across Claude, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf, loading only the tools each agent needs — for developers juggling multiple AI coding clients.

Works offline
What to know▼
How it works
A local-first CLI and proxy where you write your MCP server configuration once, then it fans that config out to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf, loading only the tools each agent actually needs and resolving secret references instead of hardcoded keys.
What's different
Loads a curated subset of tools per client rather than every configured MCP server, avoiding the context-window overhead of loading them all.
Best for
Developers using multiple AI coding clients who want one MCP config instead of duplicating setup across each tool.
