Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Query, modify and convert JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and more with one selector syntax, editing config files in place or converting between formats, handy for agents handling structured data in scripts. A single dependency-free binary that works much like jq or yq.

Open-source font editor: fontforge -script runs Python scripts headlessly to batch-edit glyphs, convert between OTF, TTF, UFO and other formats, and generate fonts, for type design and font processing. Homebrew installs the CLI version; install the desktop app for the GUI.

Query cloud resources and SaaS APIs live with SQL: plugins map AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes and other services to tables you can select from directly, no ETL needed. A single binary with Postgres built in.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.
