MindZJ
Open-source, 16MB offline notes app built with Rust & Tauri.
What it does
MindZJ is a fully FOSS, 16MB alternative to closed-source notes. Unlike others, it's built with Rust & Tauri 2.0 for extreme performance, features an AI-native "vibe-coding" workflow, and includes a dedicated CLI for terminal-based knowledge management—all while keeping data 100% offline.

- LALocalGPT – A local-first AI assistant in Rust with persistent memoryFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲331
I built LocalGPT over 4 nights as a Rust reimagining of the OpenClaw assistant pattern (markdown-based persistent memory, autonomous heartbeat tasks, skills system). It compiles to a single ~27MB binary — no Node.js, Docker, or Python required. Key features: - Persistent memory via markdown files (MEMORY, HEARTBEAT, SOUL markdown files) — compatible with OpenClaw's format - Full-text search (SQLite FTS5) + semantic search (local embeddings, no API key needed) - Autonomous heartbeat runner that checks tasks on a configurable interval - CLI + web interface + desktop GUI - Multi-provider:…
- RCReintroducing Cap, the open source Loom alternative2024 · github.com · ▲57
Hey everyone! We launched the first version of Cap earlier this year. It wasn't great. We had tons of feedback.

New features include a powerful editor, screenshots, hotkeys and just overall a much better experience. Would love for you to test it out - appreciate you! Cheers, Richie
- FPFeature-packed 6MB Rust+Tauri free bookmarking app22d ago · ▲13
https://shelf-bookmarks.stupidlabs.lol I have been using raindrop.io for years now, and it has worked perfectly for me. Seriously, no issues. But, bookmarks are something that are a bit too personal... they allow profiling you. And I don't want anyone doing that to me, Hence, this app. It's 100% offline and free. It's built in Rust using Tauri, is roughly 6MB only, is beautiful to look at, and packs more features than commercial ones. Make sure to checkout the "All features" page as well from the homepage. Also, it has an inbuilt api server (configurable) so you can automate as…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
