Local agent sandbox with real-time network control dashboard
10

AI agents run on your machine, with your credentials, making network requests you never see. Greywall puts a deny-by-default layer in front of any CLI agent. Run greywall -- claude and it restricts file access, blocks outbound connections, and shows you a live dashboard of what the agent is trying to reach. You decide what to allow. Nothing is containerized. Your workflow stays the same but safer. It runs on Linux and macOS and costs nothing.

Open Source in 2026: The Data

The category contracted by 59% compared to 2025, moving from 334 launches to 136. Average interest score across all 2026 launches: 160. Average engagement ratio: 0.16.

Frequently Asked Questions

Highest community engagement at launch, measured by interest score and engagement ratio. These are traction rankings, not editorial picks.

Launch timing matters. Q1 products face different competition than Q4 products. Seasonal patterns affect both launch volume and community attention. Quarterly grouping makes comparisons fairer.

No. Some of the best-loved tools in our index have modest interest scores but sky-high engagement ratios. That pattern means a smaller audience cared deeply. I'd take that over 5,000 interest and crickets in the discussion threads.

Over 30. AI, Developer Tools, Productivity, Marketing, SaaS, Design, and everything in between. Most products appear in 2-3 categories. Some show up in 5+.

Products are ranked within their launch year. A 2022 product competes against 2022 launches, not 2025 launches. Use the year navigation to compare how standards evolved.
