Capsule turns a prompt into a self-contained app in one SQLite file
The .capsule bundles UI, schema and its own database to share like a document. Also today: an open agent to replace Claude Code, and on-device dictation.

Prompt in, a portable app out
Capsule — free, built in Rust/Tauri — turns a plain-English description into a complete `.capsule` file: HTML UI, a schema, and a local SQLite database, generated via ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The app runs offline, carries its own data, and shares like a document over email or AirDrop. It's sandboxed by default (no filesystem or network without permission), and documents can call local or remote models for in-app AI. The unlock: a shippable, backend-free micro-app you hand to someone as one file.
Bough: roll your own coding agent
A developer open-sourced Bough, the coding agent they built to replace Claude Code in their day job. It's a small, hackable alternative for anyone who wants an agent they fully control and can point at their own model — worth a look this weekend if lock-in on your agent stack is starting to bite.
Jexxa: dictation that never leaves your device
Jexxa is high-speed dictation that runs entirely on-device — speech-to-text with no cloud round-trip, so nothing you say leaves the machine. A fast, private input layer for the AI tools you already drive by voice.
Elsewhere: drive your Mac with muscle
Kinesis, open source, reverse-engineers the unencrypted Bluetooth stream from Meta's Neural Band to control macOS with sEMG muscle gestures — a thumb-to-index pinch clicks, a wrist flick switches desktops — bypassing Meta's daemons and cloud entirely. macOS only for now, but the raw protocol is mapped, so Linux and Windows ports are within reach.
