Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Alexi

A free, local-only YouTube research studio that runs on the Claude Code or Codex login you already have. No account, no cloud, no API key; your projects stay in ~/.alexi.

Download Alexi for Mac / Windows

Drag the app into Applications (macOS) or run the installer (Windows: for you only, no administrator). The builds are not signed yet, so the first start asks once: on macOS click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway; on Windows click More info → Run anyway. The app updates itself from here (the pill in its title bar). Everything about it: docs/INSTALL.md.

Install with npm

Needs Node 22.6 or newer (you already have it if Claude Code or Codex is installed; otherwise https://nodejs.org).

npm install -g alexi
alexi

The first alexi fetches what is missing (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, a headless Chromium — into ~/.alexi/tools, nothing of yours replaced), starts the server at http://127.0.0.1:4748 and opens your browser. npx alexi does the same for a one-off start.

  • Update: alexi update, or the Update available pill in the app's title bar. alexi update --rollback goes back to the previous version.
  • Check the machine: alexi doctor (Node, yt-dlp, ffmpeg, Chromium, Claude Code, Codex).
  • Stop: alexi stop.
  • Uninstall: npm uninstall -g alexi, then delete ~/.alexi (your projects are in there).

No Node yet? One line installs Node and then runs the same npm install:

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MalakHimse1f/alexi-releases/main/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MalakHimse1f/alexi-releases/main/install.ps1 | iex

The agent side

One of these, signed in as the user that runs Alexi: Claude Code (claude on PATH, claude auth status) or Codex (npm install -g @openai/codex, codex login). Every run spends your own plan. Details, what gets written where, and every check the app makes: docs/INSTALL.md in this package, or https://github.com/MalakHimse1f/alexi-releases.
