Open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine and talks to you over 20+ chat channels such as Telegram, Slack and iMessage. The openclaw CLI manages the gateway, channel pairing and plugins; switch models between Claude, Codex and local ones.

Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images, audio and more into Markdown that keeps headings, lists and tables, ready for LLMs to read and analyze. Maintained by Microsoft; requires Python 3.10+.

Baidu PaddlePaddle's official OCR and document parsing tool: the paddleocr command reads text from images and parses PDFs and scans into Markdown or JSON, supporting 100+ languages with models that run locally.

Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.

Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.

macOS cleanup and maintenance CLI (mo): clears caches and logs, fully uninstalls apps, analyzes disk usage, removes project build artifacts and shows system status. Preview deletions with --dry-run; disk analysis and status support JSON output. Needs macOS 12+.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

Upstash's official Context7 CLI (ctx7): search libraries and pull up-to-date docs from the terminal, or set up the Context7 MCP and rules for Claude Code, Cursor and other agents in one step. Docs lookup needs no login; signing in raises rate limits.

Packs a web page, local HTML or dist folder into a lightweight desktop app with one command (built on Rust Tauri; macOS, Windows, Linux), with --json output and llms.txt for agents. Needs Node.js; installs Rust automatically if missing.

C/C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model that transcribes audio offline and outputs subtitles. Runs on CPU, with Apple Silicon and various GPU acceleration. Download a ggml-format model first.

Expo's official CLI: starts the React Native dev server, runs prebuild to generate native folders, runs apps locally on iOS and Android, and installs version-compatible dependencies. Ships with the expo package; call it with npx expo inside a project.

Package manager for macOS and Linux: agents can brew install CLI tools and desktop apps (casks), or use brew bundle to restore a dev environment from a Brewfile.

Free, open-source offline OCR desktop app for screenshots, batch images, scanned PDFs and QR codes, callable via the umi-ocr CLI or an HTTP API (the CLI relies on the app's local HTTP service, on by default). Windows and Linux only.

Universal document converter between dozens of formats including Markdown, Word, HTML, LaTeX and EPUB, with templates, citations and Lua filters. PDF output uses LaTeX by default, which you install separately.

Release automation for iOS and Android: lanes orchestrate builds, code signing management, screenshot generation and uploads to the App Store and Google Play, and agents can call a project's existing lanes directly.

Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.

Adds a searchable, copyable text layer to scanned PDFs, with automatic deskew, rotation and size optimization, outputting PDF/A by default. Built on Tesseract, supports 100+ languages and runs fully locally.

Official CLI for Tencent's open-source knowledge base platform WeKnora: upload documents, manage knowledge bases, run hybrid search and answer questions from them, or serve as a read-only MCP. Needs your own WeKnora deployment and a source build with Go 1.26+.

Office command-line tool built for AI agents: a single binary that creates, reads and edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files without Office installed, and renders them to HTML or PNG so agents can check the layout.

One CLI for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets and other Google Workspace APIs, with commands generated from the Discovery service, JSON output and 100+ Agent Skills. From the googleworkspace org but not officially supported; needs OAuth via a Google Cloud project.

Open-source e-book manager whose command-line tools (ebook-convert, ebook-meta, calibredb) batch-convert between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, DOCX and more and manage library metadata. The install command is Linux-only; on macOS and Windows use the installer.

Fast speech transcription built on faster-whisper, with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, suited to meeting notes and subtitles. Diarization needs a Hugging Face token; GPU acceleration needs CUDA.

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.
