Download GAM, then run the MSI installer. By default, GAM will install to C:\GAM but you can change this to wherever you prefer. GAM will also be added to your path so you can run GAM even if you're not in the GAM folder. At the end of the MSI install process, GAM will open a command prompt to allow you to setup a project and authorize GAM for admin management and user data/config access. -

GeoIP
This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats
GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb. -

imsg
CLI for Apple's Messages.app so your agent can send and receive text
imsg is a lightweight bridge utility used to connect iMessage functionality with external automation systems and AI assistants, particularly within the OpenClaw ecosystem. The project enables AI agents and command-line workflows to send and receive iMessage content through a macOS-based bridge connected to the Messages application. Its architecture relies on AppleScript or RPC-style communication layers to expose iMessage interactions programmatically while maintaining compatibility with local macOS environments. imsg became an important component for integrating iMessage into autonomous assistant systems, enabling conversational AI workflows directly through Apple’s messaging platform. The project emphasizes local-first communication and direct integration with Apple infrastructure rather than relying on cloud relays. While newer approaches such as BlueBubbles integrations are emerging, imsg remains a foundational utility for local iMessage automation and AI messaging workflows. -

Scoop Installer
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents
agent-browser is a toolkit that embeds AI agent capabilities directly into the web browser, enabling agents to interact with web content, scripts, and user actions while maintaining security boundaries that respect user privacy and browser constraints. It effectively provides a sandbox where AI agents can read, scroll, click, and interpret pages in context, allowing them to automate workflows, answer questions about page content, or generate structured summaries directly from the user’s current tab. The project emphasizes standards and safety, defining interfaces that let agents access DOM data, interpret events, and generate actionable insights without exposing sensitive credential-level access or violating policy boundaries. Users benefit from a tighter feedback loop: agents can observe user tasks in-situ and respond with contextually relevant actions or suggested steps, like form completion, navigation shortcuts, or detailed explanations of UI elements. -
