FastLLM is an open-source inference engine for people running large language models on their own machines or self-hosted servers. Its main draw is hardware flexibility: large mixture-of-experts (MoE) models can spread their weights across GPU memory, system RAM and disk when they don't fit entirely on a graphics card.

StarDist detects individual cells and nuclei in crowded 2D microscopy images and 3D volumes. It's for researchers and bioimage analysts who need separate outlines for closely packed objects. Its shape-based approach suits objects that can be represented by star-convex polygons in 2D or polyhedra in 3D.

WritHer is a voice dictation app for people who want to write in Windows desktop apps and manage everyday tasks by speaking. It works offline after the initial model downloads, without an account.

ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate is a paid Windows desktop photo editor for photographers who want to manage large collections and edit their photos in one application. It combines non-destructive RAW adjustments with layered editing and AI tools for finding related images, retouching portraits and generating content. It works directly with existing photo folders, without requiring a collection import.

smart:limit is a proprietary AI audio limiter plug-in for mixing and mastering on macOS and Windows. It analyzes a track and suggests limiting settings, with loudness and dynamics meters in the same interface. It's aimed at producers and engineers preparing audio for release who want help controlling peaks while retaining detail in the mix.

Voice Changer (w-okada), also called VC Client, converts speech as you talk using AI voice conversion models. It suits people who want live voice changes, including gaming commentators running other demanding applications.

Whisperstream turns speech into text in the app you're writing in. It's for people who want to dictate messages, documents or coding prompts while keeping speech recognition on their computer.

MNN is a C++ framework for developers running AI models on phones, PCs and embedded devices. It supports inference and training on the device, with a small application footprint and hardware acceleration.

Transcribe Offline turns recordings and live speech into text for people who need to review conversations without uploading audio to a cloud service. It pairs transcript editing with audio playback in a desktop app.

Moondream is a vision language model for developers building apps that interpret images, such as warehouse or manufacturing footage. Its downloadable models can run on your own hardware, including offline in an air-gapped environment.

noScribe transcribes recorded interviews for qualitative researchers and journalists who need to keep audio on their own computer. It processes recordings locally rather than sending them to a cloud transcription service.

Audiblez converts EPUB e-books into spoken audio using Kokoro-82M on your computer. It's for readers who want an audiobook version of a book, with control over the voice and which sections get read aloud.

OwnPilot is a self-hosted AI assistant for people who want personal records and agents that can carry out tasks in one web interface. It supports local model backends as well as cloud providers.

whisper.cpp runs OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition models on your own hardware. It's for developers adding transcription to applications and people who need offline speech-to-text.

NullHub is a self-hosted management console for people running NullClaw and its supporting tools. It brings agent instances, workflow runs and task queues into one browser dashboard.

ZeroClaw is a personal AI agent for people who want an assistant running on their own computer or server. It can use a shell and browser, respond through messaging apps and perform scheduled tasks.

Open Generative AI is an AI image and video studio for creators who want to generate media on their own hardware. Local inference is available only in the desktop app.

LM Studio runs downloaded language models for conversations and tasks on your computer. Its Bionic agent helps people create documents, write software and carry out work using local or frontier open models.

TabbyAPI is a self-hosted LLM API server for people who want to run ExLlamaV3 models on their own hardware. It’s built for personal projects and small groups; its maintainers don’t recommend it for production servers.

Agent S is a computer-use AI agent framework for developers and researchers building desktop automation. It takes natural-language tasks and operates desktop and web applications through their screen interfaces, without requiring an API integration for each app.

Spleeter is Deezer's music separation library for developers and audio researchers who want to extract individual parts from a recording on their own hardware. Its pretrained models let you process music without training a model first.

Tonfotos organizes family photos and videos for people whose collections span a computer, external drives and a NAS. It helps you find pictures of relatives and keep family history alongside the archive.

SpeakoFlow lets you dictate into other apps and ask an AI assistant for help without leaving your work. It's for people who want voice typing, spoken conversations and meeting notes with processing on their own computer.

Waves Clarity Vx DeReverb is a proprietary neural audio plug-in for reducing room reverberation in recorded speech and singing. It is for music producers, podcast creators and dialogue editors who need to reduce unwanted acoustics while retaining the vocal performance.

Revornix is an AI knowledge workspace for people who collect articles, research papers and recordings and want to ask questions across their library. It connects saved material in a personal knowledge graph and uses those relationships to inform its answers.

Kokoro Clipboard TTS reads selected or copied text aloud on Windows and macOS using Kokoro-82M. It's for people who want to listen to text across desktop apps while keeping it private. Speech generation works offline, and both clipboard text and audio stay on your machine. It doesn't require an account or API key, and it has no telemetry.

opencodex is a local AI gateway for developers who want to choose which models power their coding assistants. It connects Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Grok Build to alternative providers while keeping each tool's native interface.

audio.cpp runs audio models locally for developers building speech tools and people generating or processing audio on their own hardware. It brings multiple audio tasks into one C++ runtime built on ggml.
