Netron – Neural network, deep learning and machine learning models viewer

Read & Browse [ Mac Software ] [ Linux Software ]

We can see visualizations of neural networks in papers and literatures, which are very exquisite. You may wonder whether they are drawn using drawing software or office software. These are too low-end and inefficient for AI researchers, who use a number of open-source projects for neural network visualization. While each of the major deep learning frameworks provides corresponding visualization templates, they are not generalizable.

OpenRGB – Control the RGB lighting on all your RGB-enabled devices

Each RGB device has its own style and comes with its own dedicated control software, but they have too many drawbacks: most are Windows-only, support only their own products, are difficult to use with other RGB devices (prone to conflicts), some even require registering for an online account, need to install bloatware, take up a lot of system resources, and come with some other problems. especially, it would be a pain to synchronize your various RGB lighting settings to your liking.

Syncthing – Sync files across multiple platforms in P2P way

[ Mac Software ] [ Linux Software ] [ Mobile ] Backup & Recovery

With the development of network technology, our demand for file synchronization and backup is also becoming stronger. While various web disk services provide us with convenience, they also bring a lot of restrictions and risks in terms of speed, security and privacy. There are many cloud synchronization solutions, such as Seafile and Nextcloud, which are feature-rich but bulky and difficult to deploy cloud disk programs. But if we only need to synchronize files, then a better choice is Syncthing. In comparison, it is lighter, easier to deploy and use, more secure, and especially has faster file transfer.

[v2.5] Iriun Webcam – Use your phone's camera as a wireless webcam

When you use your computer to video chat with others, you may encounter awkward situations where the camera doesn't work, isn't clear enough, can't adjust its angle, or even doesn't have a camera. In such cases, you can connect and use your phone's camera for video calls via some software. Even with an old phone, its clarity is far better than almost any built-in or external HD camera. Better yet, you can also adjust its position and viewing angle at will.
