In their own words

LibreBooking

LibreBooking is an open-source resource scheduling system for organizations that manage reservations. It supports bookings across multiple resources, waitlists and recurring bookings, with check-in for reservations. Role-based access controls, reservation quotas and credits, and granular usage reports help organizations manage access and track use. The interface is described as mobile-friendly and responsive, with custom themes and color schemes. Calendar integration with Outlook and Thunderbird uses ICS; authentication guides cover LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2 and SAML. An optional RESTful JSON API supports third-party integrations, automation or client applications, and the project provides documentation for custom plugins. Organizations can install a prebuilt release, deploy with Docker, or install manually. Manual installation requires PHP 8.2 or later, Apache 2.4 or later, and MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6 or later; other web servers are not currently supported or tested. LibreBooking is free, licensed under GPL-3.0, and available for Linux, self-hosted and web use. The README warns that versions earlier than 7.0.0 have a critical vulnerability that can permit unauthenticated administrator account takeover; it says to upgrade to 7.0.0 or later immediately.

openmux

openmux is a terminal multiplexer for Linux and macOS, with vertical, horizontal, and stacked pane layouts and nine workspaces. Each workspace can keep its own pane arrangement. Vim-style hjkl navigation and a Ctrl+b prefix provide two ways to control panes. Sessions preserve workspace layouts and pane working directories; users can detach while a background shim keeps running, then reattach from another client. The project also offers an aggregate PTY browser for filtering and previewing terminals by process, directory, or Git branch. Terminal features include mouse tracking, scrollback, pane zoom, and Kitty graphics support for image rendering, pixel sizing, and SSH-aware offloading. Its CLI handles session and pane operations such as creating sessions, splitting panes, sending text, capturing output, and listing sessions as JSON. Configuration changes for layout, theme, and keybindings hot-reload while openmux is running. The MIT-licensed project is listed at free. Installation options include a curl script, npm, Bun, source build, or prebuilt binaries for macOS Apple Silicon and Linux x64 or arm64.
