Cap

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknown

Screen recorder with editing and instant shareable links

Cap records screen and camera, then gives you an editor with backgrounds, automatic zooms, and cursor smoothing before you share a link. It is built in Rust on Tauri, so the binary is small and recording does not tax the machine it is recording.

The link sharing side works either through the hosted service or against your own S3 bucket, which is the difference between a demo tool and one legal will approve.

EnteOpen

End-to-end encrypted photo storage across devices

LicenseAGPL-3.0

Ente stores photos and videos encrypted on the client, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read. Sync, albums, and sharing all work on top of that constraint rather than around it.

Firecrawl handles the unglamorous part of feeding the web to a language model: rendering JavaScript, following pagination, stripping navigation and cookie banners, and returning markdown or structured JSON that a model can actually use.

LicenseAGPL-3.0

RustDesk is remote desktop software where the relay server is a binary you can run yourself. That is the whole argument: the same convenience as the commercial tools, without your screen sessions transiting a vendor's infrastructure.
