In their own words

Bandura

Bandura is a desktop workspace for building local AI workflows and testing APIs with a visual canvas and editable YAML workflows. Each workflow is stored as a plain-text.aether file that can be shared or committed through Git. API checks can chain HTTP requests, pass values between steps, and assert results; imports include Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI, Bruno, HAR, and curl. AI features connect to Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Groq, OpenRouter, Together, Ollama, and LM Studio. Ollama or LM Studio can run those features locally without an API key or traffic leaving the machine. A native CLI runs the same workflows in terminals and CI, and the local MCP server lets compatible assistants manage flows. Bandura says it collects no telemetry, analytics, crash reports, or account data. The Free plan is free; a commercial licence is $59 as a one-time purchase per seat and includes 12 months of updates. Built-in scheduling and hosted execution are unavailable.

sabledocs

Sabledocs is a free, open-source command-line generator for static HTML documentation of Protobuf and gRPC contracts. It can create one documentation site for multiple packages and combine material for Protobuf and gRPC. The input is a binary descriptor generated with protoc; comments require the descriptor to include source information. Search is enabled by default and can use a prebuilt Lunr index, while Markdown is supported in the main content page and Protobuf comments. Configuration in sabledocs.toml covers items such as titles, paths, package visibility, member ordering, and comment filtering. Jinja templates can be customized for primary content, and extra templates can be added to the output. Users can configure source links for Protobuf model members in GitHub, Bitbucket, Bitbucket Data Center, and GitLab repositories. The generator writes the site to sabledocs_output, where it can be opened through index.html. Sabledocs requires Python 3.11 or higher and is installed with pip install sabledocs. A Docker image includes both protoc and Sabledocs.
