Twelve repositories for moving files, checking code and watching your own machines

Moves files to and from object storage very quickly with many parallel connections, but it speaks to one kind of object store and local disks only, with no other services, no encryption and no folder mounting.

Makes one object-storage bucket look like an ordinary folder on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD, which is only the mounting part, with no copy engine and no verified transfers.

Mounts object storage as a folder faster than s3fs-fuse but does only that, and it has taken no new code since 18 July 2024.

The standard Python framework for collecting pages at scale, doing the same fetching and parsing job, but it ships no blocking-evasion and no browser.

The same idea of a framework with the awkward parts included, with proxy rotation and real browsers, but written for Node.js and TypeScript and backed by a company selling a hosted service.

Does only the evasion half, as a patched browser driver with no framework around it, and its GPL-3.0 is a much heavier obligation than MIT.

The closest match in spirit, storing requests as plain files in your own repository, but it is a desktop application first and its README points at paid versions.

Also scripts and checks web traffic from a command line, but built for load testing with JavaScript test files, and AGPL-3.0 is a much heavier licence.

Sends single web requests from a terminal in a friendly readable form, but with no test file format, no chaining and no checks — and it has taken no code since December 2024.

The other successor named in xsv's own farewell note, doing the same job with a much larger command set, but its README does not credit xsv or its author where xan credits both openly.

The same work on CSV, tab-separated files and line-by-line JSON with genuine streaming for files larger than memory, but written in Go and with a query language of its own to learn.

The original both successors descend from, with the same commands and the same job, archived by its owner on 24 April 2025 and now pointing readers at the two projects that replaced it.

The same fast replacement for du, showing which folders dominate a tree as a bar chart, but it only reports: no interactive mode and no delete, so it cannot destroy anything.

The closest like-for-like competitor, with the same parallel scanning, interactive screen and ability to delete, written in Go and tuned for solid-state disks.

Draws the tree as blocks sized by space used and can also delete, but it has had no new code since 7 March 2024.

Tags files against the same public music database and can also use acoustic fingerprinting, but it is a desktop window you drag files into rather than a catalogue you can query.

Also renames and sorts a music collection, but its purpose is watching feeds and acquiring new releases rather than fixing files that are already on the disk.

A spreadsheet-style tag editor for Linux where many files are edited by hand, the opposite approach to automatic matching.

The same three kinds of data in one program with a much smaller memory floor, but a smaller feature set for following a single request across services.

Not a replacement: it makes the traffic rather than watching it, and the two are often installed together.

Watches what people do inside a product rather than what the servers underneath are doing, so it answers a different question in a similar shape.

The same job entirely on your own machine with no account and nothing sent anywhere, at the cost of never saying whether a found key still works; its maintainer states it is feature complete.

Also reaches the network, but to the key's own provider to test whether each credential is still live, and it needs no scanning account; AGPL-3.0 matters if it is redistributed.

Fully local and account-free, built around a saved list of already-known secrets so an old repository can be brought under control without every run failing; the weakest detection of the three.

The same job of putting rules around a model, at almost the same size and equally active, but organised around the shape of a conversation in a small modelling language of its own.

Overlaps only the structured-answer half — defined shapes and automatic retries — and is the leaner choice when a safety layer is not wanted.

Was the closest local equivalent with fifteen input and twenty output checks, archived by its owner on 9 July 2026, with its published models abandoned too.

The same job with full double-entry accounting and small-business features such as invoicing, more capable and considerably harder to learn; its licence is compound, GPL-2 or 3 plus an OpenSSL exception.

Also personal finance kept on your own machine, but built as a self-hosted web application around envelope budgeting rather than a native program with one file.

The same kind of desktop finance manager with strong investment and bank-connection support, but this address is only a mirror and the real development lives on KDE's own servers.

A far smaller and simpler self-hosted visitor counter that installs in an evening instead of a weekend and answers correspondingly fewer questions.

The same idea of a privacy-respecting counter you host, packaged for self-hosting by the company behind the paid service, with a deliberately small set of reports.

Visitor and product reporting together, including funnels and session replay which are paid add-ons in Matomo; it needs 2 GB of memory and two databases.

The same job at much larger scale with more than 150 indicators and candlestick patterns, but it works through whole arrays at once and wraps a C library that has to be present.

Pure Python and installable in one command, with 43 indicators, but it works over whole table columns for preparing data rather than accepting one new value at a time.
