Universal Android Debloater
Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB
Universal Android Debloater is a command-line tool and GUI wrapper for managing and removing unwanted system apps and bloatware from Android devices—especially rooted ones. It reads a set of “profiles” corresponding to different manufacturers or Android versions, listing packages recommended for removal or disabling while preserving system stability. The tool communicates with the device over ADB (Android Debug Bridge), uninstalls or disables packages, and can restore disabled apps in case something breaks. Because removing critical system apps can break functionality, the tool emphasizes safety: it often suggests backups, lists dependencies, and allows dry runs before executing. For power users and tinkerers, it provides a curated, convenient way to slim down Android installations without manually running dozens of pm uninstall commands. -

Weylus
Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer
Weylus turns your tablet or smart phone into a graphic tablet/touch screen for your computer! No apps except a modern browser (Firefox 80+, iOS/iPadOS 13+) are required on your tablet. Start Weylus, preferably set an access code in the access code box and press the Start button. This will start a webserver running on your computer. To control your computer with your tablet you need to open the url http://<address of your computer>:<port set in the menu, default is 1701>, if possible Weylus will display to you the url you need to open and show a QR code with the encoded address. If you have a firewall running make sure to open a TCP port for the webserver (1701 by default) and the websocket connection (9001 by default). -

RuView
Turn WiFi signals into real-time human sensing and spatial awareness.
RuView is an edge AI perception system that transforms ordinary WiFi signals into real-time environmental sensing and human pose estimation. Built on the concept of WiFi DensePose, it analyzes disturbances in WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) caused by human movement to reconstruct body position, breathing patterns, heart rate, and presence. Unlike traditional vision systems, RuView operates without cameras, wearables, or cloud connectivity, making it a privacy-first sensing solution. The system runs on low-cost hardware such as ESP32 sensor meshes and performs signal processing and machine learning directly at the edge. By learning the RF signature of each environment over time, RuView adapts automatically to different spaces and improves its sensing accuracy. Designed for applications ranging from healthcare monitoring to disaster response, it enables spaces to gain spatial awareness using the radio signals already present in the environment. -

llmfit
157 models, 30 providers, one command to find what runs on hardware
llmfit is a terminal-based utility that helps developers determine which large language models can realistically run on their local hardware by analyzing system resources and model requirements. The tool automatically detects CPU, RAM, GPU, and VRAM specifications, then ranks available models based on performance factors such as speed, quality, and memory fit. It provides both an interactive terminal user interface and a traditional CLI mode, enabling flexible workflows for different user preferences. llmfit also supports advanced configurations including multi-GPU setups, mixture-of-experts architectures, and dynamic quantization recommendations. By presenting clear performance estimates and compatibility guidance, the project reduces the trial-and-error typically involved in local LLM experimentation. Overall, llmfit serves as a practical decision assistant for developers who want to run language models efficiently on their own machines. -

Seelen UI
The Fully Customizable Desktop Environment for Windows 10/11
Seelen UI is a highly customisable desktop enhancement suite for Windows 10/11 that focuses on productivity, aesthetics, and workflow control by layering new UI capabilities on top of the existing Windows environment. It targets users who want deeper control over how windows are arranged, how apps are launched, and how desktop surfaces behave, without fully replacing Windows with another shell. A core component is its tiling window manager functionality, enabling automatic window layouts that make multitasking more structured and faster than manual snapping. It also includes an application launcher inspired by keyboard-driven launchers, helping users open apps, search, and run commands quickly without relying on the Start menu. The project integrates additional desktop modules that can surface useful controls directly in the UI, such as media controls compatible with common players, reducing context switching. -

Ruffle
A Flash Player emulator written in Rust
Ruffle is an open-source emulator for Adobe Flash Player, written primarily in Rust, and targeted at both desktop applications and web browsers via WebAssembly. Its goal is to enable legacy Flash content—animations, games, interactive media—to continue running safely and reliably after official Flash support was discontinued. On the web side, Ruffle is embedded into pages or installed as a browser extension; in the desktop version, it can open .swf files directly or embed them in applications. Because it’s built with memory safety in mind, Ruffle helps avoid many of the security vulnerabilities that plagued classic Flash (buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.). It strives to support multiple versions of ActionScript (1, 2 and parts of 3) and a wide swath of the Flash API so as much content as possible works unchanged.
