These landed in my feed this week. Real projects, worth your time.
1. Pearcleaner
A free, source-available macOS app cleaner built in Swift. 12K+ stars for a reason — it actually works.
Why it matters: App cleaners on macOS are usually sketchy, paid, or both. This one's open-source, actively maintained, and doesn't try to upsell you every three clicks.
2. scarf
Native macOS GUI companion for the Hermes AI agent — dashboard, session browser, activity feed, embedded terminal chat, memory editor, and more.
Why it matters: Most AI tools live in the browser. This one's native SwiftUI, purpose-built for Hermes, and respects your system. The kind of tool that makes you rethink how you interact with AI agents.
3. CodexMonitor
An app to monitor the (Codex) situation. Built with TypeScript and Tauri, supports macOS and Linux.
Why it matters: 3.4K stars for a monitoring tool says something about OpenAI's Codex launch. This reads the situation so you don't have to. Clean UI, cross-platform, practical.
4. fazm
Fazm Desktop for macOS. Swift-based, coming from the mediar-ai team.
Why it matters: Early days (114 stars) but the focus is right — a desktop-native AI experience that doesn't feel like a web wrapper. Worth watching.
5. vibetunnel
Turn any browser into your terminal & command your agents on the go. 4.3K stars, TypeScript-based.
Why it matters: The "vibe coding" movement is real, and this tool nails the workflow — browser-as-terminal, remote control, agent management from anywhere. Clean site at vt.sh too.
