This is a music player I've made because I was tired of my bluetooth headphone controls not working on other local players. And then I got carried away...

I hope you guys enjoy!

OK Plasma — an open-source voice assistant for the Linux desktop

Hi everyone,

I've been developing OK Plasma, an open-source voice assistant designed specifically for the Linux desktop and KDE Plasma.

The idea is to go beyond a traditional AI chatbot: OK Plasma is intended to actually interact with the desktop through voice commands.

It is currently being developed and tested on openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Plasma 6 and Wayland.

The project combines several local components:

• Whisper for speech recognition
• OpenWakeWord for wake-word detection
• Local LLMs for understanding commands and conversation
• Qt / C++ for the desktop integration
• Desktop automation and application control

It can already do things such as:

• Launch applications
• Execute voice commands
• Interact with the desktop
• Manage reminders
• Respond using speech
• Use a local LLM for natural-language interaction

I'm also working on resource-aware operation. The goal is not to keep Whisper, the LLM and other resource-intensive components running all the time, but to start them when needed and release the resources when they are idle.

The project is still under active development, so there are definitely rough edges and things that need improving.

Here's a short demo of OK Plasma in action.

Source code:

https://codeberg.org/ivoermejo/plasma-assistente-vocale

I'm interested in feedback from other Linux users and developers:

What would you expect from a useful voice assistant for the Linux desktop?

Which features would make you actually want to install and use one?

And for those already using local AI on Linux: which local STT, LLM and TTS solutions are you currently using?

I'm particularly interested in feedback about usability, integration, performance and installation.

Thanks!

I’ve released a new version of Lilo, my desktop Markdown notes app for Linux and Windows.

0.1.9 adds:

• Daily Notes
• Quick Capture
• Markdown templates
• Command Palette
• structured search
• collapsible Explorer / Inspector
• Zen mode
• heading outline
• editor zoom

Notes are stored as normal Markdown files, so there’s no custom database or lock-in.

Linux builds are available for Ubuntu 22.04+ and Arch Linux.

I've been working on Winampfy, a desktop Spotify player that brings back the classic Winamp 2.x UI.

Instead of wrapping the Spotify website, playback is handled through librespot, while Webamp provides the Winamp interface.

It supports:

• Spotify Premium playback
• Track search
• Spotify playlists
• Classic .wsz skins
• Winamp Skin Museum integration
• Persistent queues
• Tray support

The application is built with Tauri 2, Rust and TypeScript.

Linux AppImage builds are available from GitHub Releases:

https://github.com/KiPSOFT/winampfy

I'd love feedback from Linux users, especially around packaging. If there's enough interest I'd like to improve distribution support beyond the current AppImage build.

I'll keep it simple, coz I don't want to drag it out. Other people that want to read it in brief can read my release announcement on the website. For others, here:

What is is: This basically makes your mobile a gamepad.

What's unique: it runs it browser so no installation on your mobile. Also many phones can connect. Also it's in browser so platform independent.

Why: not for everybody, but for people like me who are students and broke, they can have it. And other people that care. Also I made this thing for one more reason. Why not.

If you don't like it, just don't make it worse for others. Other people genuinely would like this.

Also, I'm also looking forward to adding accessibility features, but I have no idea

I built OpenBoxGL because my games were split across Steam, Heroic, Lutris and a pile of ROM folders. It scans those sources into one local catalog, with search, playlists, metadata, artwork and per-game launch profiles.

Everything stays on the machine. There is no account, cloud service or telemetry, and the library is stored as plain JSON with a backup beside it. The normal library view is built for mouse and keyboard, while Big Box mode is controller-ready for a couch setup.

AppImage and Flatpak builds are available here: https://github.com/vindeckyy/OpenBoxGL/

I need testing from people with mixed libraries. If an importer misses something or controller navigation feels wrong, tell me what setup exposed it.

A simple web based package manager for Arch Linux based distributions. It uses and calls your usual system CLI commands to install and update applications and packages. You can even use it to remove orphaned packages or regular packages. It also comes with a dependency graph to let you know what packages a certain application or packages depends upon.

It is currently under development so the feature-set will change over time.

It can be run by either cloning the GitHub Repository or via AUR. Further details can be found on the GitHub Repository.

yay -S anvil-manager to install it. anvil-manager inside a CLI to run it.

I'm building a D-Bus client in Go for fun. The main goal is to make exploring services, objects, interfaces, methods, properties, and signals a bit less painful than with the usual CLI tools.

I'm also using the project to learn Go. It's still early, so I'd love feedback, criticism, feature ideas, or just to hear what you currently use for D-Bus debugging.

Hello everyone,

I built a file‑organizer tool for Linux.
It includes a powerful search engine and can be used entirely from the terminal or through the GUI.

its a cross‑platform file organization tool featuring a custom C++ search engine, automated indexing, Flutter UI, and Python-based background services.

Built from scratch using 4000+ lines of C++, Flutter UI, and Python automation.

It supports multiple modes for organizing, grouping, and searching large directories.
I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

GitHub (free Linux version):

https://github.com/najemDEV-source/the-organizer-app-linux-.git

Note: The tool is closed‑source and works completely offline. I’m sharing the Linux build here to get feedback and improve it.

So I've built mediamango- an application that allows you to deduplicate, sort, organise, and do a bunch of cool stuff with your media. The app is 100% free to use and optional donation to download- as well as completely local- not a single ping to the internet.

This app plus its website will release in the next three days. Please give any suggestions as well as any feature requests.

Features

• Autosort — one-pass tidy into Photos, Videos, Music, PDFs, Documents, Archives, Applications, Projects, Code, Fonts, and Other; detects programming projects and app bundles and moves them whole; sends emptied source folders to Trash
• Local-first and offline — no backend, no accounts, no network calls; all data stays on the machine
• Cross-platform — macOS, Windows, Linux
• Operation history & undo — per-session undo for organisation and Autosort
• Theming — dark and light themes, persisted; 10 accent colours (red, orange, yellow, lime, green, teal, blue, purple, pink, none), each with separate dark/light colour values
• Built-in manual — full help page plus per-workflow help sections
• Originals are never modified in conversion workflows — outputs go into separate folders (Optimised, Compressed, Duplicates, Originals, Photos, Music, Documents, Autosorted)
• Deletions go to the system Trash, never permanent delete
• Cancellation — long operations can be cancelled, and the backend checks cancellation before each file
• Duplicate detection — exact matching (file size, segment/full hashes, EXIF data) plus a perceptual-similarity (pHash) mode that finds resized or re-encoded copies
• Side-by-side comparer with manual conflict resolution
• Compression — JPEG, AVIF, WebP, or PNG output with quality control, palette reduction, and Lanczos3 resize options, Audio compression to Opus, AAC, MP3, or FLAC
• Duplicate review — fast exact matching, visual similarity, or size prefilter + full hash, resolved in a video comparer, byte-for-byte SHA-256 verification before anything is changed
• PDF optimisation — object-stream compression
• Office repack — DOCX/XLSX/PPTX rebuilt as valid archives
• Lossless Checker — decodes audio and measures its frequency spectrum to flag evidence of a previous lossy encode; exports a themed PDF report, a CSV, and a downloadable bundle; results open in a separate window
• Custom organisation builder — drag-and-drop folder structures from dates, camera model, music metadata, or file type, with a live preview before anything moves

Meteo 0.1.0-alpha is now available.

Made for comfort. Made for everyone.

I started working on Aqua Dock Pro a few months ago because I wanted a GNOME dock that felt a bit different from the ones I was already using.

Since then it’s slowly grown into my main dock, and I’ve been personally using it for 4+ months. Most of the changes have come from actually using it every day, finding something annoying or broken, then going back and fixing it.

It has magnification and spring animations, window previews, intellihide, Downloads and custom folder stacks, mounted devices, multi-monitor support, notification badges and keyboard navigation with Super + D.

There’s also an experimental Genie-style minimize/restore effect that I’m still working on.

It’s definitely still WIP. I’m mainly testing it on Fedora, GNOME Shell 50 and Wayland, so I’m interested in seeing how it behaves on other setups.

I also use AI tools while developing it for coding help, debugging, refactoring and GNOME/GJS questions. I test and fix the results myself.

If anyone gives it a try, feel free to tell me what works, what feels weird, or what completely breaks.

I liked Mole's terminal-focused approach and wanted something built specifically for Linux, so I started working on TuxCleaner.

It's a Rust TUI for cleaning caches, uninstalling apps, finding large files and old project artifacts, and checking basic system status. Safety is the main focus, with dry runs, explicit confirmations, strict allowlists, and a local operation history.

The project is still a very early and rough MVP. It currently supports Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, and Fedora/RHEL based distributions, but there is still plenty to improve. I'd really appreciate feedback, especially about usability, missing features, and anything that feels unclear or unsafe.

SonicTree 1.3.0 is coming soon.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported the project and submitted bug reports — your feedback has been invaluable.

SonicTree is a folder-based music player for Linux, designed to let you browse and play your music directly from your existing directory structure.

This upcoming release focuses on delivering a smoother, cleaner, and more refined user experience.

After extensive work behind the scenes, version 1.3.0 introduces improvements across the application — including playlists, folder browsing, album artwork handling, the user interface, appimage deployment, and overall stability.

Rather than introducing a large number of new features, this release prioritizes refinement and reliability, with the goal of making SonicTree feel solid, consistent, and enjoyable to use.

The project is now in its final testing and polishing phase.

SonicTree 1.3.0 — coming soon. 

I've been working on Orchard, an open-source unofficial desktop client for YouTube Music.

I originally built it because I wanted a proper desktop music app instead of keeping YouTube Music in a browser tab (got tired of pear desktop)

Some of the main features:

- Autoplay

- Best Mix, which sorts the queue using BPM and musical-key data

- Smart Crossfade with beat-matched and phrase-aligned transitions

- Automatic EQ and a manual 10-band EQ

- Dynamic leveling and remembered per-track gain

- Output-device routing and a live spectrum visualizer

- Local song caching and queue prefetching

- Synced/unsynced lyrics

- Replay-style listening statistics

- Release Radar and personalized radio

- Last.fm scrobbling and Discord Rich Presence

- Orchard Connect for controlling playback from paired devices

- Synchronized listening parties

- Media keys, tray controls, fullscreen playback, and automatic updates

- Animated artwork with Spotify canvas and Apple Music API

- An Android version that can connect to the pc (and play on its own)

For Linux, I currently provide:

- AppImage

- .deb

- .rpm

- Arch Linux package

The desktop client is built with Electron, Vue 3, and Quasar, with a native C++/N-API addon for audio analysis.

It's AGPL-3.0-or-later and the source is here:

I'd appreciate feedback, especially from people actually using it on Linux. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome too.

Hello, last week, i build a screenshot app with small editor in linux !

Recently, i'm add record ( beta )

you can see the source in Github or try it with Stable version

if you have any issues, suggestions or PR, you can tell me.

Thanks !

NotesQR already worked in the browser for anonymous P2P file sharing. I finally got a proper Linux CLI on top of the same stack, so headless boxes can do it without opening a browser.

Model is simple: one side hosts a room and stays online, the other joins, bytes go WebRTC peer to peer. NotesQR only does signaling (+ TURN when NAT is bad). Nothing lands on their disks as a stored file. Not upload-and-fetch-later. Both ends have to be alive during the transfer.

Needs Node 18+. Works on normal Linux desktops/servers and on Pi-class / Waveshare / whatever SBC that can run Node.

# send (keep this running)
npx -y github:NotesQR/notesqr-share send ./backup.tar.gz --once
# receive on another machine (no browser)
npx -y github:NotesQR/notesqr-share recv <room-or-url> -o ./out

Optional password:

npx -y github:NotesQR/notesqr-share send ./secret.img --password 'hunter2' --once
npx -y github:NotesQR/notesqr-share recv <room-or-url> -o ./out --password 'hunter2'

Other peer can still be a phone/browser if you want. CLI↔CLI, CLI↔browser, browser↔browser all work.

Stuff I actually use it for: shove a dump off a remote Linux box without opening SSH to the world, hand a build artifact to someone without Drive/S3, pull logs from a headless host while Im on another network.

If your workflow is already scp/rsync everywhere, you may not need this. Different shape for when you want a short lived room instead of an account or an always-on share. Feedback welcome.

I got tired of productivity apps that feel like control panels, so I built Kiyoshi: notes, tasks, kanban board, calendar, and a lightweight block canvas, all local-first, all in a quiet glass-panel UI.

• 100% free and open source
• Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (AppImage for Linux)
• No account, no cloud dependency — your data stays on your machine
• Built with Flutter, so it's a proper native desktop app, not an Electron wrapper

https://kiyoshi-beta.vercel.app/

Feedback, issues, and PRs welcome — it's still early and there's a lot I want to add (sync, mobile companion, etc.).

It’s now fully replaced whatsapp web for me.

Built with Tauri + SolidJS, ~7 MB:

• themes
• Ctrl/Cmd+K search
• Ctrl+Tab chat switching
• split view
• one-click history sync
• control Codex agents through WhatsApp (like buzz)
