Best open-source Rust projects

Long-term memory for AI coding agents that carries project context and handoffs across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agent CLIs.

Desktop app for screenshots, screen recording, and local OCR on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with assets stored on your machine.

A local-first Rust harness that turns coding agents like Claude Code and Codex into research agents for literature review, experiments and artifacts.

Turns an Android phone into a PC microphone over WiFi, USB Serial, or USB ADB, with a virtual audio cable on the PC side.

Fast, state-of-the-art tokenization library in Rust with Python and Node.js bindings for NLP and language model pipelines.

Open-source disk cleaner and space analyzer for macOS, Windows and Linux, with safety-first cleanup, duplicate finder, app uninstaller and startup manager.

Lightweight cross-platform database client for 100+ databases, with desktop, Docker, CLI, a built-in AI SQL assistant and an MCP server.

A safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents that enforces file, system call, and network policies per sandbox.

An open-source, pure Rust motion graphics and compositing app that aims to be a clean-room alternative to Adobe After Effects.

Lets AI agents like Claude Code or Codex read the screen, tap, type and swipe on a real iPhone over USB or Wi-Fi via MCP.

Local file converter that runs from a right-click menu, handling images, video, audio, PDFs and documents without uploading them.

ArtCraft is a desktop IDE for AI image and video creation, combining 2D compositing and 3D scene staging with a catalog of third-party image, video, and 3D models.

Source control for coding agents: links each commit to the agent session that produced it, and lets multiple agents share one project memory.

Open source inference engine that tunes its kernels to your hardware to run open models faster on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or CPU.

A self-hosted Rust knowledge base that builds a bitemporal knowledge graph from documents, with RAG search, ontology-driven reasoning and MCP access for agents.

An open-source, clean-room word processor written in pure Rust that reads and writes .docx and runs on desktop and in the browser.

A CLI and workflow engine that runs coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Copilot through configurable review, repair and test gates before work is accepted.

A terminal UI (TUI) for viewing and controlling Docker containers, with live stats, logs and exec access.

A terminal UI for managing Bluetooth devices on Linux, built on BlueZ.

A shell guardrail that intercepts dangerous terminal commands from humans and AI coding agents and requires confirmation before running them.
