macOS native local-first AI agents with approval gates Tailscale home lab

Small, quiet tools for macOS, Android TV and a self-hosted home lab. Everything runs locally, asks before it does anything risky, and can be undone.


~/now

Self-hosted background AI worker and official Nous Research Hermes Agent catalog plugin. Queue a task, it runs it with Claude Code, Antigravity or Ollama, falls back between models when one hits its quota, and stops to show you the exact command before anything risky. Zero-dependency Python server plus a native SwiftUI menu bar app.

Python SwiftUI SQLite Claude Code Hermes Agent

Your TV, minus the ads. Debloats any Android TV over ADB and gives it a clean, tvOS-inspired launcher with a Stremio shelf, day/night wallpapers and a frosted-glass settings panel.

Project What it does Stack
⚡ Remote Spotlight Spotlight-style bar that searches other machines (Windows, Linux, NAS) over SSH from a local SQLite FTS5 index, in a few milliseconds and without mounting anything. Swift FTS5
💡 daakREMEMBER Menu bar capture for thoughts and tasks, synced privately between your own devices over Tailscale. Swift AppKit
🧠 daakRAM Memory pressure monitor that tells you which app is the problem and closes it safely. Swift
🕰️ ClockScrambler Menu bar clock in words, emoji or colours that match your wallpaper. Swift AppKit
🛡️ daakLOLILE Tor relay, Snowflake proxy and hardware telemetry for a spare PC, with safe power modes and a menu bar remote. PowerShell Swift
🎙️ daakDİKTE Offline voice typing for macOS and Linux with local whisper.cpp and global hotkeys. Python whisper.cpp
🏝️ Atoll (fork) Dynamic Island for macOS, with a live agent dashboard in the notch. Swift CoreAudio

~/upstream

  • NousResearch/hermes-agent #144514: Official plugin catalog admission for DAAK Duffy (daak-duffy / antigravity-duet) — background task queue with human-in-the-loop approval gates, multi-agent Ruflo swarms and multi-model Antigravity fallback. Code-reviewed and merged by @teknium1.
  • ruvnet/ruflo #4494: closed Windows autopilot security guard gaps, NTFS stream bypasses and binary-planting paths across the CLI and console. Reviewed and merged by @ruvnet.
  • Ebullioscopic/Atoll #893: fixed an animation bounce loop, notification CPU spikes and multi-monitor jitter.
  • yusufipk/dikte #8, #44: native macOS backend (AVFoundation capture, Carbon hotkeys, key-code mapping).
  • Gathin23/cleanyourtv #155, #51: tv-vibehack featured in the upstream showcase.

~/home-lab

A repurposed phone runs headless as a 24/7 edge controller: it watches what the TV is playing and dims the Philips Hue lights for films, with debouncing so a paused trailer does not flicker the room. A broken-screen laptop runs the AI worker and backups; everything talks over a private Tailscale mesh and nothing needs a cloud account.
