NorviTech

Open-source apps for the Linux desktop and the self-hosted stack.

Small tools, one developer. No telemetry, no accounts, no hosted service; each README says exactly what leaves the machine, and each release is a tag you can read end to end.

  • A live Helios session: the request is sent, the agent thinks, reads a file, writes a test, runs the suite and streams its answer while each step appears in the transcript.

    Helios

    The desktop that sees everything your coding agents do.

    A native GTK4/libadwaita workbench for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and OpenRouter models. Every session in one window, with permissions, budgets and the plan you agreed to where you can see them.

  • The BitAgent quickstart running: two containers start, the DHT crawler's persisted count climbs and the operator console comes up.

    BitAgent

    A self-hosted BitTorrent DHT crawler and indexer built for the *arr stack.

    It crawls the DHT into Postgres, classifies what it finds, serves it over Torznab — and watches what your *arrs actually keep, feeding that back into what it indexes.

  • An XNote session: notes are created, typed into, recoloured from the hover toolbar's swatches and moved around the desktop.

    XNote

    Sticky notes that stay on your desktop, and stay yours.

    A GTK4 descendant of Xpad for GNOME on Wayland: each note its own window, saved as you type, with optional encrypted backup to Dropbox or any rclone remote.

  • A desktop of XNote sticky notes arranged across the screen, each one back in the position it was left in.

    XNote Placement

    Puts every XNote sticky note back where you left it.

    Wayland forbids an app from placing its own windows, so this GNOME Shell extension does it from the compositor side — position, monitor and workspace, on every login. Nothing to configure.

  • A SnipSnap capture: the screen dims, a region is dragged across two monitors, and the editor opens with exactly that region.

    SnipSnap

    Screenshot any region of any monitor on GNOME Wayland, with no permission dialog.

    The selection is drawn inside the compositor by a Shell extension, so one drag can cross monitors and there is no portal prompt. A full annotate-and-copy editor comes with it.

  • Conductor architecture: authorized provider streams, a Plex tuner and guide, and persistent PostgreSQL state.

    Conductor

    Live TV and DVR for Plex, with accounted provider capacity.

    A Go service that pools authorized provider connections, enriches guide data and exposes an HDHomeRun-compatible tuner. Deploy it with authenticated administration and a tested recovery plan.

  • The NorviOS desktop on Ubuntu 26.04: a transparent top bar with named workspaces and the weather, three sticky notes on the right, a Files window rendered as frosted glass, and a centred dock with a blurred plate.

    NorviOS

    The NorviTech look for Ubuntu 26.04, from the boot splash to the window glass.

    Boot splash, login screen and About logo rebranded, GTK windows turned to frosted glass, and a desktop of NorviTech extensions around it — dock, workspaces, weather, lock screen. One command removes the branding.

  • The Indigo Home screen on a GameCube: a glass cube on its Library face, a GameCube controller glowing on the glass and LIBRARY named underneath.

    Indigo

    A fork of Swiss for the Nintendo GameCube with the interface rebuilt.

    An animated Home, a poster library and game details, drawn in the console's own visual language. Unzip it, drag it onto the SD card and power on.
