Katana: Security Web Crawler for Recon Pipelines 🔮🔮🔮🔮○

CLI-Anything 🔮🔮🔮🔮○

ai-tools

CLI-Anything is useful when a critical desktop app has no API and you only need bounded local automation. Its core workflow works, but coordinate-driven control is brittle, and AnyGen should stay sealed.

SSHX 🔮🔮🔮🔮○

software

SSHX is an easy tool to keep around if you ever need to share a live terminal for debugging, teaching, or support. It is genuinely practical, but its value is in short-lived collaboration, not as a replacement for normal SSH.

WorldMonitor: A Layered OSINT Map for Real-Time Global Monitoring 🔮🔮🔮🔮○

ai-tools

An open-source OSINT platform that combines news, flight, vessel, conflict, and market layers into one map. Powerful online, but self-hosting leans heavily on Vercel and multiple API keys.

GitNexus: A Code Knowledge Graph Layer for Large Repositories 🔮🔮🔮🔮○

ai-tools

GitNexus turns a codebase into a queryable knowledge graph and exposes it through MCP, making impact analysis and symbol-level navigation far more useful for large repositories. Strong idea, but the PolyForm Noncommercial license sets a clear boundary for commercial adoption.
