Tool reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
ai-tools
Claudian is worth considering if Obsidian is already one of your real work surfaces, not just a note archive. It brings Claude Code-style file operations into the vault, but the extra power only makes sense if you actually want that level of access.
ai-tools
The official draw.io MCP server lets your LLM generate, preview, and export editable diagrams mid-conversation. Free, open-source, with 10,000+ shapes including AWS, Azure, GCP, and UML libraries. Best for developers and researchers who need architecture or workflow diagrams without leaving their AI chat. Hosted endpoint means zero setup; self-host if you handle sensitive data.
