DeepTutor is a self-hosted AI tutor for learners who want to study their own materials through a browser or CLI. It supports Docker deployment and uses configured model providers for its AI capabilities. Hosting the app locally is separate from model inference; requests to a remote provider leave the host.

PPT Master turns documents or topics into PowerPoint presentations for people who expect to edit the generated slides. It creates native PowerPoint objects that you can revise individually.

OpenWork is a desktop workspace for knowledge workers who want AI agents to work on their files and connected services. Built on OpenCode, it's a point-and-click alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex.

AI Job Search is a job application framework for people who want to assess roles and prepare tailored documents from their own career profile. It runs through Claude Code on your machine, but AI work uses Anthropic's service and requires paid Claude access or API credits, so it isn't fully offline.

Agent Reach gives AI agents access to online content for research, repository work and social media searches. It's for people using Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf or another agent that can run shell commands.

Docmost is a self-hosted team wiki with collaborative editing, spaces, page history, attachments and access permissions. Teams can run the wiki on their own servers or use managed hosting. Its core is AGPL-3.0 licensed; AI search and chat require a separate commercial license.

LocalSheets is a spreadsheet for people who want their workbooks on their own disk, with optional AI through a local Ollama instance. It runs from a single HTML file in a desktop browser and works offline without an account or cloud service. The app doesn't collect analytics or tracking data.

Research Agent is a free, MIT-licensed, open source AI agent that combines online research with documents on your machine. It's for people investigating technical topics or comparing papers who want cited reports and a choice of local or cloud models. It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with a browser dashboard and a command-line interface for automation.

localGPT is a self-hosted document chat app for people who want to ask questions about files and summarise them on their own hardware. Its local processing keeps document content and chat data on the machine running the app.

SilverBullet is a knowledge workspace for personal notes, shared wikis and project documentation. It keeps your writing in plain Markdown files and lets you build connections and collect information across pages.

xberg, formerly Kreuzberg, is a local document extraction engine for developers building AI search and document processing applications. It turns files into text and structured content that those applications can use.

CTranslate2 is an inference library for developers who want to run Transformer models on their own hardware or servers. It focuses on reducing execution time and memory use for applications built in C++ or Python.

Notely Voice turns speech and recordings into editable notes for lectures, meetings and interviews. It runs Whisper on your device, so speech recognition works offline after you download a model and doesn't upload audio to a cloud service.

NocoBase is a self-hosted platform for teams building business applications for themselves or clients, including CRM, help desks, and project management systems. It combines a visual no-code editor with support for AI coding agents, so business users can adjust what agents build without editing code. Business data stays in your own database.

AutoAgent lets people create AI agents by describing the work they want done. It's for users who want custom agents without writing the agent code themselves, or a ready-made research assistant for gathering information and producing reports.

Morphic is an AI search engine for people who want answers they can check against web sources. It searches the web and reads URLs to gather information for a question.

Edit Mind is a self-hosted AI video knowledge base for editors, creators and people with large footage archives. It helps you find a moment by what someone says or what appears on screen, without remembering the filename. The self-hosted project isn't production-ready and may have incomplete features or bugs.

Yuxi is a self-hosted AI agent platform for teams that need answers from their documents and agents that can carry out multi-step work. Its browser workspace brings knowledge sources, task progress and generated files into the same conversation.

Automated AI Web Researcher investigates a topic using a locally running LLM. It's for people who want to delegate web searches and keep the collected material for review, rather than gather each page themselves.

Nowen Note is a self-hosted note app and knowledge base for individuals and teams who want to keep documents on their own server or NAS. Writing, connected notes and task management share one workspace.

PraisonAI is a Python framework for developers building AI agents that research, write code, or carry out tasks across apps. It supports single agents and coordinated teams for work that needs several steps or specialist roles.

LangBot is an AI bot platform for teams handling customer support, internal questions, or community chats. It brings agents and existing AI workflows into the messaging services people already use.

Synaplan is an open-source AI platform for teams that want assistants to answer questions from company files and handle customer conversations. It brings internal knowledge and customer support into a shared system on infrastructure you control.

Kerlig is a paid AI writing assistant for Mac that helps with emails, Slack replies and Jira tickets in the apps you already use. It combines text editing with document chat and an agent that can read your screen and use your apps.

Vyact is a desktop workspace for people who want a local LLM to help with files, writing and code. It brings conversations and searchable documents together, with optional connections to email services and Chrome.

Open Cowork is a desktop AI agent for Windows and Apple Silicon macOS that uses cloud model APIs to carry out tasks on your computer. It's a Claude Cowork alternative for people who want a graphical interface for document work and app automation. The app is free and open source under MIT, but the agent needs an API key and internet access; model requests go to your chosen provider.

WorkAny Desktop is an AI agent for people who want to delegate file work, document creation and coding tasks in plain language. The app executes tasks on your machine and connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter or custom model providers. Requests to external providers leave your machine, so local task execution doesn't make it an offline AI app.

Stella is a legal workspace for law firms and legal teams that want matter files, contract review and research in one place. Its AI agent answers questions about a matter with citations that open the relevant source passage.

RESTai is a self-hosted AI platform for developers and teams building document assistants, agents and AI services for other applications. Its web interface manages projects with separate models, prompts and tools, plus a chat playground for testing them.
