  1. openclaw

    Your own personal AI assistant. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞

    Looks like this was restored 2 weeks ago[0], 3 days after Anthropic said OpenClaw requires extra usage[1]. At this point, it's hard to take this seriously. No official statement and not even a tweet?

  3. Rapid-MLX

    The fastest local AI engine for Apple Silicon. 4.2x faster than Ollama, 0.08s cached TTFT, 100% tool calling. 17 tool parsers, prompt cache, reasoning separation, cloud routing. Drop-in OpenAI replacement. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider.

    > Large-context requests auto-route to a cloud LLM (GPT-5, Claude, etc.) when local prefill would be slow. Routing based on new tokens after cache hit. --cloud-model openai/gpt-5 --cloud-threshold 20000

  4. piclaw

    pi coding agent in a technicolor web trenchcoat

    PSA: Since you are still required to use Claude Code and I have had a bunch of non-technical people asking me to make https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw based on Claude rather than pi (which is never gonna happen), I have started pivoting its Python grand-daddy into a Go-based web front-end that runs Claude as an ACP agent.

    Still early days, but code is available, sort of works if you squint, and welcomes PRs: https://github.com/rcarmo/vibes/tree/go

  5. vibes

    A simple mobile-focused chat app to talk to an agent via the ACP protocol

  6. ask

    Interactive REPL wrapper around the Claude CLI with glamour-rendered output (by Cidan)

    You don't really need to tmux at all for Claude Code CLI. Claude Code CLI supports streaming json input, and streaming json output; you can use stdin/out as a pipe to control Claude Code CLI.

    I'm doing this today in https://github.com/Cidan/ask -- works great.

  7. migrate-openclaw

    Migrate your OpenClaw workspace to Claude Code. Converts agents to skills, preserves souls and knowledge bases, generates a clean CLAUDE.md.

    I used https://github.com/Kevjade/migrate-openclaw, and then started running Claude Code with remote exec against an empty folder that I've advised it to start adding new memories into. So far, my bot's personality is back, and it can utilize the same skills as before, which is was failing on last week.

    I don't have an especially heavyweight implementation, because I only use mine to review things I've written in my Apple Notes (journaling of various kinds, mostly) and give insights.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
