local-first

A Rust-based hybrid local code search tool for developers and AI agents, with BM25 + semantic retrieval, persistent indexing, tree-sitter symbol search, and MCP/gRPC integrations.

Semble is a local-first code search tool for agents. It offers natural-language search, an MCP server, bash/AGENTS.md integration, and a Python API, with claims of faster indexing and much lower token usage than grep+read.

Meridian is a local-first work journal for developers that reconstructs screen activity into a daily timeline, summary, and draft worklog or standup updates, with ticket drafting for Jira-style workflows.

Waku is a native desktop app for managing local coding agents in one timeline. It supports agents like Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, and Pi, keeps data on the user’s machine, and includes checkpoint-based rewind for code and conversation state.

An open-source, local-first canvas for editing LLM context as a graph. It lets users branch, prune, merge, and inspect the exact context sent to a model, with a desktop app, web demo, and support for Ollama and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Hydra is a local-first multi-model AI orchestration CLI that discovers available heads on a machine and routes tasks to the cheapest model that clears a confidence bar.

Chrome extension that saves AI chat answers locally, adds tags, and lets users search and reopen them later.

A Mac menu bar app that tracks Claude Code activity locally, including prompts, lines of code, active time, breaks, tokens, and costs.

A local-first harness for turning coding models into reliable software agents, with memory, sandboxed execution, verification, recovery, GitOps, and deployment workflows. The repo describes a multi-agent architecture, approval gates, provider support, and a real shipped example.

Local-first federated search for AI agents that queries transcripts, files, a knowledge graph, a vector store, and the web, then merges results with trust-weighted ranking.

r3 is a local code review tool for AI-generated code and docs, with a browser UI, anchored feedback, and an agent loop for create/watch/reply workflows.

Busabase is an open-source, local-first database and knowledge base built around approval workflows for AI-generated changes. It lets users review, approve, and merge agent-proposed records, and includes a simple API plus desktop, Docker, and source-based setup options.

Open-source SDK and libraries for building local-first, peer-to-peer AI apps. It supports local LLM inference, embeddings, translation, transcription, TTS, OCR, image generation, and an OpenAI-compatible API across desktop and mobile platforms.

Recall is a local-first memory tool for Claude Code that logs sessions and generates a compact project summary offline, without sending data to an API.

ctx is a local-first desktop workbench for coding agents, now open source under GPL-3.0. The page explains that it runs agents in a desktop environment with worktrees, transcripts, artifacts, diff review, container boundaries, and a local merge queue.

Local-first agent OS that lets you run and steer Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode from a browser or chat app while keeping code and keys on your own machine.

Local guardrails for AI coding agents that intercept destructive actions before they execute, now extended to Git hooks for commit and push enforcement.

A local-first shared development environment for humans and CLI coding agents, with persistent workspaces, worktree-isolated tasks, agent coordination, and built-in review and browser tools.

Open-source, local-first AI web testing app that lets you write test steps in plain English and run them in a real browser on your machine.

SwarmWright is a self-hosted multi-agent AI orchestration platform for designing, running, and inspecting swarms of agents from markdown and config. The page highlights Docker-based setup, topology-enforced agent graphs, human approval steps, local storage, and detailed audit logs.

Local-first code intelligence for Claude Code that adds structural graph search, semantic memory, cross-project links, MCP integration, and automated hooks for coding workflows.

Amnitex is a local, lossless memory layer for MCP-capable AI coding assistants. It installs as a CLI, exposes tools like search, recall, remember, and list keys, and is designed to work across clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Zed.

Blume Sidecar is a desktop companion for managing coding agents across tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. It tracks agent activity, monitors rules and hidden files, shows usage limits, and suggests fixes when instructions drift from chat context.

Crew is a local-first collaborative IDE for people and AI agents to work together on projects. It supports multiple agents at once, shared threads, project folders, token tracking, and built-in browser tools like terminal, files, preview, web, and review.
