OpenHistory is an open-source macOS app that builds a private, searchable timeline of a user's work by observing only the foreground activity they explicitly permit — window names, document context, browser domains, clicks, and visible interface text via macOS Accessibility APIs. It generates hourly and daily summaries and gives approved local AI agents a controlled way to answer questions about what the user did, using Apple's local Foundation Model by default or, optionally, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Kimi. By design, it does not capture screenshots, audio, camera or microphone input, passwords, private browser windows, or low-level keystrokes, and sends no analytics or telemetry of its own. All activity, timelines, summaries, settings, and agent connections are stored in a permission-restricted directory on the user's own Mac. It requires macOS 14 or later and is available on GitHub and via a direct download from its own site.

Bohrium AI is a research cloud platform from DP Technology that gives scientists, students, and engineers evidence-backed academic search over 160+ million DOI-verified papers, with AI summarization, automatic citations, and interactive Q&A. It bundles literature, scientific models, notebooks, datasets, and high-performance computing into one workspace for literature review, molecular simulation, and first-principles calculations. Every answer links back to peer-reviewed sources, and the platform also offers courses, competitions, and a virtual lab environment.
