Week of 2 — 8 October 2026
Every week, I manually curate tools, research, and services that are genuinely useful for OSINT, digital investigations, security research, and adjacent fields.
No hype. No SEO noise. No “AI startups that change everything”.
Only things you can open, verify, and actually use.
🧭 Featured Projects

🛠 OSINT Tools, Services & Investigations
CloakBrowser MCP server for AI agents: Playwright-powered browsing, clean tool forwarding, Docker support, and multi-session HTTP transport:
🔗 https://github.com/swimmwatch/cloakbrowser-mcp ReClip. Download videos from almost any website. Lightweight, self-hosted media down with a clean web UI:
🔗 https://github.com/averygan/reclip AKCA Advanced Web Security Scanner:

🤖 Universal Search & AI
Motifcode is a terminal coding agent in the shape of Claude Code — a transcript above, a bordered prompt below, / commands, @ mentions, a permission prompt, a .motif/ directory behind it - whose tool set, prompt layout, parser and failure handling are consequences of things that are specifically true about Motif-3, most of them measured rather than assumed. It is not a general harness pointed at a different base URL:
🔗 https://github.com/TaewoooPark/Motifcode JEVGrep. Find code by asking what it does. A CLI for coding agents that uses Jev to discover relevant files and source context:
🔗 https://github.com/dzhng/jevgrep ForeMerge. Catch intent conflicts before code conflicts. The open-source coordination protocol for coding agents, built above Git:
🔗 https://github.com/naw103/foremerge OpenRig. Build your own network of agents from Claude Code, Codex and Pi: persistent teams with roles, shared context and owned work:
🔗 https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig cmux. Open source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents. Built for multitasking, organization, and programmability:
🔗 https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux AIPex. AI browser automation assistant, no migration and privacy first. Alternative to Manus Browser Operator, Claude Chrome and Agent Browser:
🔗 https://github.com/AIPexStudio/AIPex Coven. Local-first runtime for project-scoped AI coding-agent sessions, with durable state, authority boundaries, and multi-harness interoperability:
🔗 https://github.com/OpenCoven/coven SAA SDK. Addressee detection for voice agents: device-directed speech detection that runs before STT, so background speech, side conversations, and the agent’s own TTS echo never trigger it. No wake word, model-agnostic, drop-in for LiveKit, Pipecat, ElevenLabs, Twilio, and OpenAI. The layer your VAD and turn detection are missing:

👨💻 Software Development & APIs
Apache Doris is a real-time analytics and hybrid search database for AI agents:
🔗 https://github.com/apache/doris Git-secret. A bash-tool to store your private data inside a git repository:
🔗 https://github.com/sobolevn/git-secret egui. An easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native:
