خمس أدوات مجانية من GitHub: شو تسوي كل وحدة وكيف تثبتهاFive Free GitHub Tools: What Each One Does and How to Install It
Five open source projects you can try today: a skill that draws ideas as machines, a Word alternative, a model switcher for coding agents, an AI that uses a real iPhone, and search your files by description. For each one: what it does, who it is for, and how to install it.
Who this guide is for
Anyone who works with Claude Code or likes trying free AI tools on their own machine
Key terms
- GitHub repo
- Where a project's code lives. Its README explains setup, and its Releases page holds ready to download installers.
- Open source
- The code is public for anyone to read and change. The license, like MIT, says what you are allowed to do.
- Skill
- A folder of instructions and tools that Claude Code adds to itself. You run it with a command that starts with /.
- Alpha or beta
- An early release. It works, but it has gaps and may change. Do not rely on it for important work.
The steps
Step 1
Install anatomy in Claude Code
anatomy is a skill that explains any technical idea as a working machine you can hover, click and pull apart. It outputs an HTML page, an SVG or a React component.
You need Claude Code and Node.js 20.10 or later. Run the command in your terminal, then type /anatomy inside Claude Code with the idea you want explained.
PromptInstall, then your first requestnpx skills add wheresryan22/anatomy -g -a claude-code /anatomy explain how [the idea you want explained] works, interactive
Tip: Drop -g to install it for the current project only.
Step 2
Download wordcraft instead of Word
wordcraft is an open source word processor written in Rust. It opens and saves .docx files and has a ribbon, styles, tables and track changes.
It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux and in the browser. Grab the installer from the Releases page (.dmg for Mac, .msi for Windows). It is still alpha: its own page says it is about 60% ready for real work.
Tip: Try it on a copy of your file, never the original.
Step 3
Install magpie and switch any agent's model
magpie lists every coding agent on your machine, like Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, next to the model it uses, and lets you change it with a click from the menu bar or the terminal.
The Mac build is signed. Windows and Linux builds exist but are not signed yet. Read the install script before you run it.
PromptInstallcurl -fsSL https://usemagpie.ai/install.sh | sh # or, with Go: go install github.com/yetone/magpie@latest
Tip: Before any curl | sh, open the link in a browser and read the script.
Step 4
Try esp32-iphone-agent on a real iPhone
This project lets an AI model use a real iPhone. It sees the screen through AirPlay and taps through an ESP32 board that plugs in as a mouse and keyboard (USB HID). The project page says the board costs about $7 and that you need no Mac, no developer account and no jailbreak.
Turn on AssistiveTouch on the iPhone and use an OpenAI compatible vision model. Follow the README step by step, since it is a hardware project.
Tip: Test it on an iPhone that is not signed in to your important accounts.
Step 5
Install DigUp and search your files by description
DigUp searches your files by what is inside them: photos, PDFs, documents, recordings and video. Describe what you remember and it finds the file. It uses Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 and everything runs on your machine.
On Mac it needs Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. Windows and Linux builds are in beta.
PromptInstall on Macbrew install --cask arahim3/tap/digup
Tip: The first run downloads the model once, so be on Wi Fi.
Step 6
Check any repo before you install it
Before any install: make sure the link is the original repo, read the README and the license, and look at the last update and the open issues.
Then have Claude read the install script with you and tell you exactly what it does.
PromptAsk Claude to review the installHere is a GitHub project: [link] Here is the install command or script: [paste it] Explain in plain words what this does on my machine, step by step, whether anything needs special permissions or sends data off my machine, and anything I should watch out for before I run it.
Step 7
Pick one and start
You do not need all five. Pick by your work: explaining ideas to a team? anatomy. Word files? wordcraft. Several coding agents? magpie. Phone experiments? esp32-iphone-agent. Lost files? DigUp.
Try one this week. If it does not help, remove it.
PromptLet Claude pick for youI work in [your field] on [Mac, Windows or Linux]. The task that eats most of my time is [task]. Of these five: anatomy, wordcraft, magpie, esp32-iphone-agent, DigUp, which helps me most and why? Then give me the first three steps to do today.
The takeaway
One tool you try this week beats five you save and forget.
