The architecture is open and modular, integration is API first, and there is no proprietary runtime language, so deployment stays on-premise, self-hosted or in your own cloud.

Fileaxy is a file de-duplication, organization, synchronization, and bulk previewing tool which utilizes a new user interface for local file management. Using content hashing or machine vision algorithms, Fileaxy can detect identical files as well as similar names, images, videos, or fonts and correlate those to others based on naming conventions. Optionally integrates with ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick, FFmpeg, and Mac Sips file decoding with a simple button click. Fileaxy opens NO network connections and will NOT request passwords. Fileaxy uses NO 3rd party libraries or code. Read/write wear to SSDs and mechanical drives is minimized where possible. Runs with Java 8+ [https://adoptopenjdk.net] on Mac, Windows, and Linux distros. My goal is to have Fileaxy manage 2 million available and unavailable files and their relationships live in the UI.

ideon
The Visual Hub for Your Projects: Centralize context on one canvas.
Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace where everything related to a project lives on a single canvas. Most projects fail not because of poor execution, but because context disappears—code lives in repositories, designs in specialized tools, and decisions in fragmented chat threads. Ideon reduces the cognitive cost of switching between these by making their relationships explicit on a spatial map. Core Features: - Live Blocks : Embed GitHub repositories, notes, links, and files side-by-side. - Spatial Organization : Move beyond abstract hierarchies; use space to define relationships. - Snapshots : Access past versions of the workspace to see how decisions and context evolved. - Multiplayer : Collaborate in real-time to maintain a shared mental model for the whole team. - Magic Paste : Instantly convert URLs, text, or images into structured blocks automatically. - Self-Hosted : Maintain full data ownership with a simple, secure Docker deployment. -
