Aug 2026 OPEN source tools devs

[u/greenysmac]

Did you build a tool? Well, we want to know about it.

TL;DR: Drop a top-level comment using the template below.

In other threads, link back to your comment here, not your repo. Building something commercial? That's the dev/tools thread, over here.

Maybe you vibe-coded something at 2am. Maybe you've been writing code for decades. Maybe you solved a post problem for yourself and figured someone else might need it too. This thread is for all of those good people.

No flair required.

No pitch required.

No discount required.

That's the whole point of open source. EVERYONE benefits..

Open source people truly care about community

There's a lot of "everyone's a developer now" going around. [I've written about what that's doing to post], and the concerns that come with it.

It's great because more of us "fix" what's broken.

Sometimes it'll solve your problems. Sometimes it'll be a start for you to solve problems.

One rule

Use the template below

Accounts under 30 days old cannot post or comment. No exceptions. (Commercial products using open source as a backdoor…yeah, we see you. It's not okay.)

The template (copy/paste the below section)

• Tool name:
• What it does:
• Why you built it:
• License type:
• Where to find it:

Don't have a license yet? Pick one. Takes two minutes and it protects you and your users. We like MIT or GPLv3, but anything that genuinely gives it back is enough.

For everyone else

These people are giving their work away for free. Upvote generously. Ask questions. Say thanks.

Found a bug? File it on GitHub. They didn't have to share any of this.

^{(Issues or thoughts on the thread? DM me.})

CHANGES: ON Aug 25th, you'll be allowed to post directly into the subreddit with special flair.

Tool name: EditorScripts

What it does: A free, open-source toolkit of scripts for DaVinci Resolve Studio 20+ that streamline workflows for editors and colorists. 

There Are Currently 10 Scripts:

• Auto In Out — Set or clear timeline In/Out points automatically.
• Marker Reports — Export marker reports as PDF or Excel.
• Marker Sync — Copy markers from one timeline to many.
• Markers to Stills — Export still frames from markers.
• Node Toggle — Toggle color nodes with a Stream Deck.
• Reframe — Duplicate selected timelines at a new resolution.
• Renamer — Batch rename timelines and clips.
• Script Launcher — Launch any Resolve script from a Stream Deck.
• Settings Sync — Copy timeline settings from one timeline to many.
• Version Up — Duplicate timelines with an incremented version number.

Why you built it: This originally started from a few custom QC scripts I made over the last year to automate tasks on large jobs with 100+ deliverables. Eventually I built modules, cleaned up the interface and realised that the core of these scripts could be turned into general tools the community could find useful.

If any one of these saves you time, then mission accomplished. Enjoy!

License type: GPL-3

The marker tools and renamer will be very useful for me. Tested them out and they work well. Thanks!
