TaskExplorer
Powerful system task manager
TaskExplorer is a powerful system task-manager / process-inspector tool designed for Windows that goes well beyond the capabilities of the built-in Task Manager. It provides real-time insights into running processes, threads, open handles, network sockets, memory usage, modules loaded, and more — all in a unified, fast, and efficient GUI. Rather than scattering information across tabs or dialogs, TaskExplorer displays detailed data in a panel layout: when you select a process, the lower panel updates dynamically to show relevant info (threads, handles, sockets, modules, etc.), making deep inspection quick and intuitive. It includes advanced panels: a Thread Panel with stack traces (helpful for diagnosing deadlocks or hangs), a Memory Panel that lets you view or even edit process memory (with search capabilities), a Socket Panel showing open network connections, data rates, pseudo-UDP connections (via ETW), and a Modules Panel listing all loaded DLLs and memory-mapped files. -

However, users are not forced to use all these features; Task Coach can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. Task Coach is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux; and there is a companion iOS app. -

Beads Viewer
Task management system for coding agents
Beads Viewer is a visualization tool designed to display, inspect, and interact with “bead plots,” graphical representations often used in statistical analysis, time series exploration, or clustering visualizations where data points are represented as beads on strands or axes to emphasize patterns and relationships. The viewer provides an intuitive graphical interface that automatically renders bead plots from structured data inputs, enabling users to observe trends at a glance, highlight clusters, or drill down into individual sequences. It supports dynamic interactions such as zooming, filtering by criteria, selecting subgroups, and exporting views for reports or slides. Because bead plots can encode a significant amount of information in compact visuals, Beads Viewer includes customizable styling options — such as coloring by category, adjusting bead size and spacing, and toggling axis representations — to help tailor visuals to specific analytical needs. -

Impetus
A key remapping daemon for linux
Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system-wide daemon that remaps keys using kernel-level input primitives (evdev, input). -

better-all
Better Promise.all with automatic dependency optimization
better-all is a TypeScript library that reinvents the familiar Promise.all construct by automatically analyzing and optimizing dependency graphs between asynchronous tasks, enabling maximal parallelization without manual orchestration. It addresses a common limitation where developers must manually refactor their promise chains to achieve efficient concurrency when some tasks depend on others, which can be error-prone and hard to maintain. With an object-based API, each task is declared as an asynchronous function that can reference other task results using a magical this.$ context, allowing the library to kick off independent operations immediately and only wait for dependent results when needed. This approach increases readability, reduces boilerplate, and optimizes execution timing based on actual dependency relations rather than naive static ordering. -
