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. -

tree-sitter
An incremental parsing system for programming tools
Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited. General enough to parse any programming language. Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor. Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors. Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C) can be embedded in any application. All of Tree-sitter’s parsing functionality is exposed through C APIs. Applications written in higher-level languages can use Tree-sitter via binding libraries like node-tree-sitter or the tree-sitter rust crate, which have their own documentation. To build the library on a POSIX system, just run make in the Tree-sitter directory. This will create a static library called libtree-sitter.a as well as dynamic libraries. -

Graphite
An open source graphics editor for 2025
Graphite is a modern, open-source, prototyping and design tool built for vector graphics, motion, and state-driven UIs. It combines traditional vector drawing capabilities with features like animation timelines, state machines, and interactive prototyping—all in one toolchain rather than separate apps. The interface supports layering, boolean operations, masks, and full node-based parametric controls for shapes and effects. Because it’s built to be extendable, plugin support allows importing/exporting formats, custom tools, or integrations with code frameworks. It also focuses on performance and scalability—handling complex vector scenes with many nested elements fluidly. For designers and developers looking to prototype UI transitions, interactive states, and motion-driven interfaces without separate design/code handoffs, Graphite positions itself as an all-in-one creative engine. -

bore
bore is a simple CLI tool for making tunnels to localhost
A modern, simple TCP tunnel in Rust that exposes local ports to a remote server, bypassing standard NAT connection firewalls. That's all it does, no more and no less. This will expose your local port at localhost:8000 to the public internet at bore.pub:<PORT>, where the port number is assigned randomly. Similar to localtunnel and ngrok, except bore is intended to be a highly efficient, unopinionated tool for forwarding TCP traffic that is simple to install and easy to self-host, with no frills attached. (bore totals less than 400 lines of safe, async Rust code and is trivial to set up — just run a single binary for the client and server.) The easiest way to install bore is from prebuilt binaries. These are available on the releases page for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Just unzip the appropriate file for your platform and move the bore executable into a folder on your PATH. You also can build bore from source using Cargo, the Rust package manager. -

Redox
Redox is an operating system written in Rust
Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications. Redox is a general purpose operating system written in pure Rust. Our aim is to provide a fully functioning Unix-like microkernel, that is both secure and free. We have modest compatibility with POSIX, allowing Redox to run many programs without porting. We take inspiration from Plan9, Minix, Linux, and BSD. Redox aims to synthesize years of research and hard won experience into a system that feels modern and familiar. Redox is an attempt to make a complete, fully-functioning, general-purpose operating system with a focus on safety, freedom, reliability, correctness, and pragmatism. We want to be able to use it, without obstructions, as an alternative to Linux on our computers. It should be able to run most Linux programs with only minimal modifications. We're aiming towards a complete, safe Rust ecosystem. -

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. -

rip2
A safe and ergonomic alternative to rm
rip is a rust-based rm with a focus on safety, ergonomics, and performance. It favors a simple interface and does not implement the xdg-trash spec or attempt to achieve the same goals. Deleted files get sent to the graveyard (typically /tmp/graveyard-$USER, see notes on changing this) under their absolute path, giving you a chance to recover them. No data is overwritten. If files that share the same path are deleted, they will be renamed as numbered backups. -

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. -

ZeroClaw
Fast, small, and fully autonomous AI assistant infrastructure
ZeroClaw is a Rust-native autonomous AI agent framework engineered for teams and developers who need highly efficient, secure, and modular AI automation infrastructure that can run reliably in both production and self-hosted environments. It is designed around a trait-based architecture so that model providers, communication channels, memory systems, and tooling integrations can be swapped or extended without rewriting core components, giving engineers flexibility and long-term maintainability. The framework features a compact single binary with fast cold and warm startup times and very low memory overhead, making it suitable even for resource-constrained hardware like small servers or edge devices. Security is a first-class concern, with sandbox controls, encrypted secrets, allowlisted operations, and scoped filesystem access by default, helping reduce risk when running autonomous agents. -
20
exa
A modern replacement for ls
You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text? exa is an improved file lister with more features and better defaults. It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s small, fast, and just one single binary. Different types of file and data will be coloured differently, and the user and group columns will be highlighted for the current user. exa can display a file’s extended attributes, as well as standard filesystem information such as the inode, the number of blocks, and a file’s various dates and times. exa queries files in parallel, giving you performance on par with ls. Not only is the standard tree tool built-in, but it’ll show you your files’ information alongside the hierarchy. View the staged and unstaged status of every file, right there in the standard view. Also works in tree view for a high-level overview of your repository. -

Vaultwarden
Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
Basically full implementation of Bitwarden API is provided including organizations support, attachments, vault API support, serving the static files for Vault interface, website icons API, authenticator and U2F support, yubiKey and Duo support. Pull the docker image and mount a volume from the host for persistent storage. This will preserve any persistent data under /vw-data/, you can adapt the path to whatever suits you. Some web browsers, like Chrome, disallow the use of Web Crypto APIs in insecure contexts. In this case, you might get an error like Cannot read property 'importKey'. To solve this problem, you need to access the web vault from HTTPS. This can be configured in vaultwarden directly or using a third-party reverse proxy (some examples). If you have an available domain name, you can get HTTPS certificates with Let's Encrypt, or you can generate self-signed certificates with utilities like mkcert. Some proxies automatically do this step, like Caddy.
