Eight open-source tools for the Linux power-user desktop. Each tool is MIT-licensed, single-author, and used daily in production.
Ultimate Terminal
Distributed terminal system. Control any Linux machine in your fleet from a single browser tab — no SSH juggling. Nexus relay server + lightweight workers + React UI. Ships as .deb packages and Docker Compose. Playwright e2e tested.
Stack: TypeScript · Node.js · Socket.io · React + Vite · Docker
Mission Center Web
System resource monitor rebuilt as a pure web app. Python 3 + psutil backend, vanilla JS + Chart.js 4 frontend. Real-time panels for CPU (per-core), memory, GPU, network, sensors, and processes. No Electron, no npm on the target machine. CLS ≈ 0.00.
Stack: Python 3 · psutil · Chart.js 4 · vanilla JS
clawbar
Voice + status bar integration for Hyprland + waybar. Push-to-talk or fully hands-free VAD. Whisper STT, Kokoro TTS, optional screen vision. Live waybar module with per-phase icons and animations. Zero secrets in config.
Stack: Python · Whisper · Kokoro TTS · waybar · Hyprland
Hyprland Multi-Monitor
Production-ready Hyprland configuration with split-monitor-workspaces. Per-monitor independent workspace sets, strict 2/3/4 workspace caps, automated stress harness. Zero failures at 10 000 sequential ops and 2 600 parallel ops.
Stack: Hyprland · Bash · split-monitor-workspaces
kratos-jarvis
Self-hosted, voice-driven AI assistant built on OpenClaw. Local Whisper STT, Kokoro TTS, energy VAD with adaptive noise floor, LLM relevance gate, Consigliere decision graph, geofencing + health telemetry, and resilience watchdogs. No cloud APIs.
Stack: Python · Whisper · Kokoro · Ollama · OpenClaw
TestPcForProgramers
Hardware benchmark suite for developers. N-body gravitational simulator (Numba JIT + multiprocessing + NumPy BLAS), GEMM CPU throughput, memory bandwidth, disk I/O, and Linux kernel compile. JSON history output for longitudinal comparison.
Stack: Python · Numba · NumPy · multiprocessing
clamAV-Utils
Python wrapper for ClamAV with parallel multiprocess scanning, tqdm progress bar, automatic quarantine, and structured logging. Splits large directory trees into batches and distributes them across CPU cores. Includes a legacy Bash variant using GNU parallel.
Stack: Python · ClamAV · multiprocessing · tqdm
vaultlog
Encrypted terminal journal. Every entry is sealed with AES-256-GCM, keys derived via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (390 000 iterations). Textual TUI with panic mode, idle auto-lock, and encrypted Git backup. Pre-commit hook blocks plaintext, private keys, and secrets from vault repos. Ships as a reproducible .deb.
