Open-source tools by chemvl

Small things that make your day a little easier.

chemvl builds small, focused tools for everyday work. Each one does one job well, and every one of them is open source.

Two small things, so far.

One keeps what you capture on your desktop. The other gives your app an API before the backend exists.

Co-pet

Open source · MIT

A desktop pet that keeps what you capture.

Drop links, files, screenshots and text on your pet. Co-pet sorts them on your computer, turns what needs doing into tasks, and hands everything back when you need it.

  • Sorted on your computer; every decision can be undone
  • Your AI agents can read your inbox over MCP
  • Free · Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • Also on Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 13 or later)

mockvl

Open sourceEarly access

Mock APIs your AI agent can control.

Upload an OpenAPI or Postman file and get a live mock URL, so your frontend and tests can start before the backend ships. A built-in MCP server lets your agent change what it returns.

  • OpenAPI 3.x and Postman v2, in JSON or YAML
  • One stable URL for your app, your tests and your team
  • Free for personal projects

Small on purpose.

Big apps try to do everything. We would rather build one thing that works, then the next.

  • One job each

    Every tool solves one problem you actually have, then stays out of the way the rest of the day.

  • Open source

    Read the code, change it, run it yourself. Issues and fixes are welcome.

  • Made with care

    Plain words, calm screens and sensible defaults, so it feels good to use every day.

Built in the open.

Every line is public. Clone it, learn from it, and tell us what to fix.
