Harden

Free

Local security layer for AI coding agents that inspects every tool call before it runs and can block, rewrite, or pause the action.

Pre-Execution Tool Call Checking: Every command, file edit, tool call, and outbound request is evaluated before it is allowed to run, not audited afterwards.
Intent-Aware Decisions: The check compares the proposed action against the task the developer actually requested plus session context, rather than matching a static rule list.
On-Device Model: A post-trained 8B-parameter model runs locally and is reported to beat frontier models on agent-security benchmarks while remaining fast enough to sit inline.
Graduated Responses: Actions can be allowed, blocked, redacted, paused for a human answer, or simply logged, and a blocked action does not stop the agent's other work.
Secret and Exfiltration Protection: Catches credential leaks, data exfiltration attempts, and destructive infrastructure operations before they execute.
Local Review Dashboard: Every decision is logged and reviewable through a dashboard that runs on the developer's own machine.
Broad Agent Compatibility: Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, Kiro, and Antigravity.
Privacy by Design: Repository contents and tool output stay on the local machine because inference happens there.

Guarding Autonomous Coding Sessions: Let a coding agent run with fewer manual approvals while a local check still catches destructive commands.
Preventing Secret Leakage: Stop an agent from pasting API keys or credentials into an outbound request or a committed file.
Blocking Prompt-Injection Damage: Catch actions an agent was steered into by malicious content in a repository, issue, or web page it read.
Protecting Production Infrastructure: Intercept destructive infrastructure operations before they reach cloud resources or databases.
Agent Behaviour Auditing: Review a logged trail of what an agent tried to do and which actions were blocked or redacted.
Team Policy Enforcement: Apply consistent guardrails across developers using different coding agents on the same codebase.

Woven Labs

Paid

Native macOS AI video editor: ask for the edit in chat, then fine-tune it on a real multi-track timeline.

Chat-Based Editing: Describe the edit in plain language and Woven applies it to your footage on the timeline.
Real Multi-Track Timeline: Fine-tune any AI-made edit manually with a full timeline instead of a black-box result.
Caption Styles: Word-by-word highlight, progressive build-up, or classic subtitles for short-form video.
Transitions and Text Animation: Fade, whip, flash, glitch and zoom transitions plus pop, typewriter and loop text effects.
Built-in Sound Effects: A library of 35 sound effects with keyboard triggers to add whooshes, pops and impacts.
Agent Integration: Paste a setup prompt into Claude Code or Codex so the agent can request edits that appear in Woven.
Media Generation: Generate images, video and music with Woven-hosted models using monthly credits.

YouTube Production: Cutting long-form videos by describing edits instead of scrubbing manually.
Short-Form Content: Producing Reels, TikToks and Shorts with captions and effects.
Podcast Clips: Turning podcast recordings into captioned video clips.
Gaming Videos: Editing gameplay footage quickly with sound effects and transitions.
Product Demos and Ads: Assembling polished promo videos with AI presenters and generated media.
Agent-Driven Workflows: Letting a coding agent request edits through the connected editor.
