I just cut $220/year in software subscriptions after scrolling GitHub and X this week.
Video editors, Mac cleaners, live meeting translators, 3D stages.
I'm dropping my favorite repos below. Reply with yours so we can all bookmark.
🧵
1/5 OpenCut (97,000 stars)
CapCut locked auto-captions behind a $19.99/month paywall ($179.99/year).
OpenCut runs multi-track timelines, local Whisper captions, background removal, and MCP cuts right in your browser for $0/month.
2/5 Mole (74,000 stars)
CleanMyMac wants $39.95/year just to clear system cache.
Mole replaces CleanMyMac, DaisyDisk, and AppCleaner with a single terminal command: `mo`. Wipes Xcode cache, node bloat, and app junk in seconds.
3/5 Pearcleaner (15,000 stars)
Prefer a native Mac UI over the terminal? This is the cleanest drag-and-drop uninstaller out there.
Hunts down hidden plist files, cleans Homebrew packages, and strips unused binary code to free up disk space.
4/5 Live Translation
Captures Zoom, Google Meet, or YouTube audio on Mac, transcribes via MLX Whisper, translates with a local model, and shows live subtitles on a floating glass overlay in under 1 second. Zero audio leaves your Mac.
5/5 Blender MCP (33,000 stars)
Instead of burning credits re-rolling AI video prompts and hoping the camera moves right, builders wire Claude straight into a 3D stage.
Lock the exact lens, lighting, and camera path before rendering 1 frame.
