Medama - self-hosted, privacy-focused website analytics platform
Medama is a self-hosted, privacy-focused website analytics platform.
It provides real-time traffic information without using cookies, storing IP addresses or assigning additional visitor identifiers. Its lightweight tracking script is less than 1KB when compressed, while the server is distributed as a single binary with no external runtime dependencies.
This is free and open source software.
Cantor - graphical front-end for mathematical, statistical and scientific computing software
Cantor is a graphical front-end for mathematical, statistical and scientific computing software. Rather than implementing its own calculation engine, it provides a consistent KDE worksheet interface for a collection of external programming languages, computer algebra systems and numerical computing packages.
Expressions, explanatory text, mathematical notation, images and results can be combined within a worksheet. Cantor can display plots and formatted mathematical output alongside the commands that produced them, making it useful for exploratory work, teaching and preparing reproducible mathematical documents.
This is free and open source software.
OpenPanel - web and product analytics platform
OpenPanel is a web and product analytics platform designed as an open source alternative to Mixpanel.
It combines privacy-friendly website statistics with product analytics covering events, funnels, cohorts, users and revenue. OpenPanel can collect data from websites, mobile applications and server-side services.
This is free and open source software.
lsoff - lists listening TCP/UDP ports
lsoff is a command-line and terminal user interface utility for finding processes listening on TCP and UDP ports.
It acts as a port-focused alternative to lsof, showing process, PID, executable path, command line, working directory and socket details. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows without invoking lsof, ss or netstat.
This is free and open source software.
hyprmag - screen magnifier
hyprmag is a screen magnifier for wlroots-compatible Wayland compositors. It displays a magnifying lens that follows the mouse pointer.
The utility freezes the current display while magnification is active.
This is free and open source software.
Livebook - create interactive and collaborative code notebooks
Livebook is a web application for creating interactive and collaborative code notebooks. It combines Markdown documentation with executable Elixir code cells, making it suitable for data exploration, automation, teaching, documentation and reproducible computational workflows.
Code is edited using a feature-rich CodeMirror editor, while the Kino library lets notebooks display interactive charts, tables, maps and other rich results. Livebook can run locally, on a remote server, inside a container or as a Linux desktop application. Notebooks use the text-based livemd format, which works well with version control and can include mathematical formulae and Mermaid diagrams.
This is free and open source software.
amdtop - TUI system monitor designed for AMD GPUs and XDNA NPU
It combines CPU and general system monitoring with telemetry for AMD discrete GPUs and APUs, as well as supported XDNA NPUs. Its collapsible interface reports CPU activity, temperatures, power consumption, memory use, GPU utilisation, clock speeds, memory bandwidth and per-process resource consumption.
The software is particularly useful for monitoring AMD desktops, workstations and servers equipped with a combination of an AMD processor, Radeon graphics and a Ryzen AI accelerator. It brings information that might otherwise require several utilities together in a single terminal interface.
This is free and open source software.
shmooz - Wayland presentation and screenshot tool
shmooz is a Wayland presentation and screenshot tool. It lets you magnify and pan the current output, add annotations, highlight an area around the pointer and capture exactly what is visible.
The software also offers a colour picker and tools for drawing directly on either the zoomed or full view.
This is free and open source software.
tgt - terminal user interface for Telegram
tgt is a terminal user interface for Telegram built with Rust and TDLib.
It offers a keyboard-focused way to work with chats and messages while still handling richer Telegram content such as photos, pinned messages, files, and voice and audio playback. Its interface separates the chat list, conversation view and prompt, while flexible TOML files control keybindings, themes, logging and Telegram settings.
This is free and open source software.
Swetrix - privacy-first, cookieless web analytics platform
Swetrix is a privacy-first, cookieless web analytics platform.
It combines real-time traffic statistics with custom events, user flows, funnels, performance monitoring and client-side error tracking. Swetrix can be self-hosted or used through its managed cloud service.
This is free and open source software.
NWM - tiling window manager
NWM is a tiling window manager for the X Window System.
It combines traditional master-stack tiling with a horizontal scrolling layout and is configured by editing and recompiling its source.
This is free and open source software.
Oceananigans - ocean fluid dynamics simulations on CPUs and GPUs
Oceananigans.jl is a Julia package for simulating incompressible geophysical fluid dynamics on CPUs and GPUs.
It uses finite-volume methods to solve nonhydrostatic and hydrostatic Boussinesq equations and is designed for applications ranging from idealised turbulence experiments to high-resolution ocean modelling. The package provides high-level model and simulation interfaces while retaining control over grids, advection schemes, turbulence closures, boundary conditions, tracers and numerical solvers.
