LLMux is a self-hosted AI gateway for developers who want to use local models and cloud providers through one interface while controlling where requests go. It blocks remote inference by default and logs permitted calls that leave the machine.

KittenTTS is a Python text-to-speech library for developers adding local speech generation to apps or producing spoken audio from text. It supports voice cloning without model training and doesn't require a GPU.

AI Runner is a desktop app for people who want an AI companion and an art workspace on their own hardware. Its local chat, voice and image tools work offline without an API key or subscription.

Interpreter translates Japanese game text into English subtitles over the game window. It's aimed at retro-game players, with MeikiOCR tuned for Japanese game text and pixel fonts. The default MeikiOCR and Sugoi V4 models run locally without internet access after setup.

LocalDocRAG is a self-hosted PDF question-answering app for people who want to search their documents with a local LLM and check answers against specific pages. It runs through Docker on macOS, Windows, Linux or a Raspberry Pi, with a browser interface accessible from phones and computers on the same network. It's open source under the MIT license.

RealChar lets you create AI companions with their own personalities and hold live voice or text conversations. It's for people who want to shape a character and host the app themselves while using external AI services for replies.

arxiv-mcp-server gives AI assistants tools to find and study arXiv papers. It's for researchers who want an assistant to inspect specific sections and work with a locally stored paper library.

ResearchNotebookLM is a free, self-hosted alternative to Google NotebookLM for people studying papers, collecting research or working with private documents. It runs through a browser on Windows, macOS or Linux, and can run on your own server. With Ollama, questions and answers stay local and work offline without a cloud account.

LiveAgent is a desktop AI agent for people who want an assistant to work with files and commands on their computer. Local tool execution is separate from model access, which uses Claude, Codex or Gemini protocols, or services compatible with those protocols through a custom API address.

Claude DevTools is a local debugger for developers who want to understand what happened during a Claude Code session. It reads saved logs from terminal and IDE sessions without modifying Claude Code.

Oh My Pi is a terminal coding assistant for developers who want an AI agent working directly in their codebase with IDE tools. It's a fork of Pi that supports both local model servers and cloud providers.

MLC LLM is a compiler and deployment engine for developers running language models on their own hardware or building AI into apps. Its shared MLCEngine supports deployment across desktop computers, mobile devices and browsers.
