Alexander4

In the beginning, the internet was free. Then the tools we use every day moved behind paywalls, and people started paying rent on their own documents, music, photos, videos and privacy.

Alexander4’s mission is to return software to the people: to build free, open-source, high-quality tools that are more functional, more intuitive and more secure than subscription offerings, and offer them as a public service. No rent, no account, no landlord.

A distributed state enforcement engine. One server and one binary agent declaratively converge fleets of machines to a desired state across seven operating systems — self-hosted, with nothing phoning home. Apache 2.0

Wedge

wedge.alexander4.io

Sign in to websites with the SSH key already in your ssh-agent — no password, no browser extension, no cloud. A desktop app for Linux, macOS, and Windows signs a one-time challenge bound to each site; an open protocol spec and drop-in SDKs for Python, Node, Go, and PHP let any site add it, with a live demo of each.

Zoetrope

zoetrope.alexander4.io

A smooth, configurable gaze target for eye-movement work — a desktop app that plays a playlist of patterns you shape to the session, a ball you set moving or hold still. It runs entirely on your machine, no account, no cloud. AGPLv3
