Earlycore scans your AI agents for prompt injection, data leakage, and jailbreaks before they ship - then monitors them in real time in production. Works with Bedrock, Vertex AI, and custom stacks. 15-minute setup.

Moshi lets you run coding agents like Claude Code from your iPhone. Agents need frequent input, but you can't always be at your desk. Moshi connects directly to your dev machine over Mosh — resilient UDP connections that survive network changes and device sleep. Speak commands with on-device Whisper instead of typing. One-tap shortcuts for Claude Code. Face ID for your keys. No cloud, no subscription — just you and your terminal.

Install once, document forever. Auto-updates all your documentation from your code so they never go stale.

Terminals are great for running agents, but terrible for editing markdown. spacecake is an open-source desktop app that supercharges Claude Code with a Notion-style markdown editor and integrated Ghostty terminal. The status bar shows your context window and usage cost ($) in real time, while the tasks panel gives you a live view of what agents are doing and what’s coming next.

Building AI chat features often means too much complexity — SDKs, databases, and infrastructure — just to support conversations and memory. Conversations API removes that overhead. Build stateful AI chat without managing backend systems. All chat data is stored for you — you only keep the conversation_id. What it helps with – AI chat memory & state – Faster prompt iteration – No backend setup – Ideal for low-code builders Built after helping builders stuck on AI chat infra instead of product.

Invoke Studio is a desktop AI coding IDE with visual planning, design canvas, and intelligent agents. Map features on Boards, draw dependencies, and let AI build them in order. Design pages in Canvas — drag, resize, edit visually — then export as production code. Experiment safely in Sandbox with AI-powered merging. Run parallel agents, create custom subagents and agents. Works with Claude, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and Ollama. Free with your own API keys.

Claude Code runs in your terminal. Session data is stored locally, but not in a human-readable format. If the session contains useful context, refactors, tool usage, reviewing or sharing it isn’t straightforward. Claudebin lets you export a Claude Code session. It captures: - the full message thread - file reads/writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls It returns a URL with a structured, navigable viewer. You can link it in a PR, embed a selected range in your docs, or resume it locally.

Sheet Ninja turns any Google Sheet into a live API in seconds. Your data already exists. Stop rebuilding it in clunky databases. Paste a link, get endpoints. Build with Lovable, Bolt, or Replit and your data stays in Sheets. Your clients edit like a spreadsheet. Your app reflects it instantly. No backend, no redeployments, no calls from confused clients.

The IDE for parallel agent work. MIT licensed, farm to table, fun. With one click git worktree isolation, first class plan tracking, color coding for agent states, flexible layout arrangement, and so much more, Anvil is crafted to make developers extremely productive, minimizing context switching and maximizing agent parallelism.

Synra is a managed MCP gateway. Add your database credentials, get a secure URL, paste it into Claude Desktop — done. No JSON config files, noenv headaches, no local server setup. Currently supports PostgreSQL and Supabase. Read-only by default. Credentials encrypted with AES-256. Built for developers who want to ask their database questions in natural language without spending an hour configuring MCP servers.

OpenClix helps mobile teams run agent-driven local push campaigns without heavy setup. Create campaigns with smart triggers, suppression rules, and scheduling—then let agents analyze results, optimize engagement, and stop ineffective campaigns. Connect outcomes to retention metrics, ship faster, reduce notification fatigue, and iterate from real performance data.

Prompt AI to build complete Chrome Extensions. Give instructions in plain English and AI designs, codes, writes your privacy policy and creates a Chrome Web Store listing for you. Anyone can become an extension developer without knowing how to code.

GenAI is like a race car without brakes. It accelerates fast — you describe something, and large blocks of code appear instantly. But AI agents silently break things. They remove logic. Relax constraints. Introduce expensive cloud calls. Leak credentials. Change behavior without telling you. git-lrc is your braking system. It hooks into git commit and runs an AI review on every diff before it lands.

Most Mac cleaners work like a black box—you click "clean" and hope for the best. This one shows you exactly what it finds: file paths, sizes, and categories. You pick what goes, and everything moves to Trash. Terminal-based, open source.

Clean Clode is an open-source text cleaning tool built for developers using Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Terminal output from Claude Code and Codex frequently includes formatting artifacts like box characters, pipes, irregular wrapping, and excess whitespace. Clean Clode intelligently removes those formatting artifacts while preserving your actual content and structure - so your text is clean, readable, and ready to reuse. Everything runs 100% in your browser. No tracking. No data collection.

CommitPlease is a GitHub-based virtual study-with-me for developers. Jump in anytime (no cam/mic), and watch a shared map evolve as you and others commit, PR, and focus. Track your progress, climb the leaderboard, and collect pets along the way.

The new way to develop iOS and Mac apps. Zcode brings AI-powered development to the next level, letting you focus on building great apps while the tools handle the complexity.

Cursor Glass introduces a unified interface for managing agents, repositories, and cloud tasks in one place. With Cloud Handoff, agents can seamlessly switch between local machines and cloud environments mid-task, eliminating workflow breaks. Powered by Composer 2, it delivers strong coding performance at lower cost. Built for engineers running parallel agents, Glass reduces context-switching and brings real visibility.

Set up hosting, databases, auth, AI, observability, analytics, and more from the CLI. Stripe Projects gives developers and coding agents a reliable way to provision real services, manage credentials, and keep track of usage across the stack.

Claude Code auto-fix watches your pull requests in the cloud, resolving CI failures and review comments automatically. It pushes fixes, asks when needed, and keeps your PR green, so you can step away and come back to a ready-to-merge result.

Mercury Edit 2 is a coding-focused diffusion LLM built specifically for next-edit prediction. It uses your recent edits and codebase context to suggest the next change, with much higher acceptance and much lower latency than typical code-edit models.
