ruvnet/RuView
RuView uses ordinary WiFi signals — the kind already in your home or office — to detect people, track movement, and even monitor breathing and heart rates, all without cameras or wearables. It works by reading subtle disturbances in radio waves caused by human presence, turning cheap hardware into a room-aware sensing system that integrates with popular smart home platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
§ 1 — why it matters
This opens a serious market for privacy-first monitoring — elder care, security, building automation, and health tech — where cameras are unacceptable but awareness is critical, using infrastructure that's already installed everywhere. With 104K stars and plug-and-play smart home compatibility, it signals strong builder appetite for sensing technology that sidesteps the camera backlash entirely.
§ 2 — why it’s trending
The idea of turning WiFi routers you already own into a privacy-first presence and health monitoring system is clearly striking a nerve — this project pulled in over 4,500 stars this week alone, a 27% acceleration from last week's already strong pace, putting it among the fastest-growing repositories on GitHub right now. Builders are paying attention because it sidesteps the two biggest blockers in smart home sensing: the cost of specialized hardware and the privacy concerns of cameras, instead using signal disruption physics to detect occupants, count people, and even track breathing through walls. With 99 commits in the last 30 days and native integrations already shipping for Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and Home Assistant, this isn't a concept demo — it's moving fast toward something you could actually ship a product on top of.
§ 3 — also rising in ai / machine learning this week
- storytold/craft-anythingCraft Anything lets you point it at any website, app, or game, and it will study how that software works, then use AI to build you a clean, original version of your own. It handles the entire process — analyzing the original, writing the new code, comparing the two, and refining the result until it matches what you wanted.+14.1k stars this week
- Ebony-Vinyl/dsh-our-free-modelThis project is a free plugin for a developer tool called dsh that gives you instant access to powerful AI models — including DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Kimi K3 — without needing to create an account, sign up, or pay for an API key. You simply install the plugin and the AI models are ready to use, with no usage limits.+8.1k stars this week
- milind-soni/OpenMausBotOpenMausBot is a free, self-hosted app that gives you a team of AI assistants you can chat with like contacts in a messaging app, where each assistant can independently take actions on your computer and connected services. It works with leading AI models like Claude and Codex, runs locally on your own machine, and positions itself as an open alternative to closed products like Meta Muse and OpenAI's agent offerings.+7.6k stars this week
- debpalash/VoiceStudioVoiceStudio is a free, open-source voice AI platform that runs entirely on your own device — no internet connection or subscription required — letting you clone voices, create new ones, dub videos, transcribe speech, and generate audiobooks across 646 languages. It positions itself as a self-hosted replacement for paid services like ElevenLabs, giving you full control over your audio and voice data.+7.2k stars this week
