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.

WMUX

WMUX is a terminal multiplexer that keeps local terminal workspaces alive when a terminal client disconnects. Its persistent server manages sessions, windows, panes, terminal state, layouts, options, commands, paste buffers, jobs, and clients. That scope is intended for shells, servers, logs, builds, agents, and project work. Users can split panes left or right, or top or bottom, navigate among them, and zoom a pane. WMUX creates a default configuration file on first use, with commands to inspect its path, contents, and effective configuration. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows; Windows uses native platform mechanisms without a POSIX emulation layer. The software is free and MIT-licensed. Windows ARM64 builds and package-manager repositories are not currently provided. Release archives have SHA-256 sidecar files, and GitHub attestations can be used to verify build provenance. Its v1 binaries are not Authenticode-signed or Apple-notarized, so Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may show a trust prompt.
