01
49Agents IDE gives you a 2D canvas where every agent, terminal, repo, and machine you own lives on a single map that you build yourself. Instead of keeping track of a maze of tabs, you arrange your work like city itself. That makes it easier to remember where things live, even weeks or days later. It is a practical way to reduce the mental weight of constantly switching between tabs and staying focused on what matters.
02
Cortex is an open source API knowledge layer. It takes your API specs from OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, and OpenRPC and turns them into interactive documentation, typed SDKs in 11 programming languages, and MCP servers for AI agents. This means your API becomes easier to explore, integrate, and automate. Instead of juggling multiple tools, Cortex brings everything together in one place, saving time and reducing friction for developers and AI systems alike.
03
Moji opens Markdown like a document, giving you a fast, clean, and distraction-free reading and editing experience. It's a lightweight reader and editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with live preview, Mermaid diagrams, and export to PDF, HTML, and PNG. Whether you're jotting notes or preparing a polished document, Moji keeps Markdown simple.
04
Oats is an AI meeting note-taking tool that is completely open, local, and free. It is designed to stay out of your way during meetings: no bots to invite, no subscription required when you run it locally with an on-device LLM. Oats works on both macOS and Windows. If you want more, you can connect to the ariso.ai cloud backend for enhanced transcription, multi-language support, speaker recognition, assessment, coaching, auto-tracking follow-ups, and other advanced features. But the core experience is private, local, and always free.
