Standard tools (Compress, Convert, Resize, Crop & Rotate, Strip Metadata) run entirely in your browser using Canvas API. Open your network tab - zero requests. Your files never leave your device.

AI tools (Remove Background, Remove Objects) run on our own server in Germany. Images are processed in memory and deleted immediately - no storage, no logs, no third parties. We use rembg + u2net for background removal and LaMa for inpainting, running in a Python FastAPI sidecar.

The stack: Vue 3 SPA + Laravel 12 API + PostgreSQL + Python service. PWA with offline support for the standard tools.

Why I built this: Every time I needed to remove a background or compress an image, I'd end up on some site that uploads my files to who-knows-where. For personal photos that's annoying. For client work or medical/legal documents, it's a real liability. I wanted tools I'd trust with my own data.

What's free: All 7 tools, 3 operations/day, no account needed. Pro is /month for 60/day.

Honest limitations: - The AI models are good but not state-of-the-art (tradeoff for self-hosting on modest hardware) - 7 tools vs. competitors with 50+. I'm focused on doing fewer things well. - Single founder, single server. Not enterprise-scale yet.

I'd love feedback on the UX, especially the Remove Objects tool (brush-based mask editor with pinch-to-zoom on mobile). Available in EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, MK.

Hi HN, I built taracode because I wanted an AI coding assistant for DevOps work that doesn't send my infrastructure code, credentials, or prompts to third parties.

It runs entirely on your machine via Ollama (I recommend gemma3:27b) and has 58 built-in tools for the stuff I deal with daily:

  - Kubernetes: kubectl, helm                                                                                                                                                                                   
  - Terraform: plan, apply, state management                                                                                                                                                                    
  - Docker: build, compose, logs                                                                                                                                                                                
  - Cloud CLIs: AWS, Azure, GCP                                                                                                                                                                                 
  - Security: trivy, gitleaks, tfsec, kubesec

No account required. No usage limits. MIT licensed.

Some features I'm proud of: - Multi-agent system with specialized agents (Planner, Coder, Reviewer, DevOps, Security) - Project memory that persists context across sessions - Screen monitoring that watches for errors and suggests fixes (macOS) - MCP support for connecting external tools

Written in Go, single binary install via Homebrew or curl.

I'd love feedback, especially from folks working with K8s/Terraform daily.

What tools or workflows would make this more useful for your setup?
