narwhal: one TUI, five databases, built-in MCP

narwhal (Nonanti/narwhal) is a Rust TUI database client that ships v1.0.0 today with connections to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, DuckDB, and ClickHouse in one interface. It offers vim modal editing, schema-aware completion, SSH tunnel support, headless exec mode, and a built-in MCP server — the standout feature — that exposes five JSON-RPC tools for AI agents with read-only defaults and workspace ACL scoping. The repo went public with 309 commits, indicating substantial prior private development. Five install paths available, including `cargo install narwhaldb`, Homebrew, and AUR.

secret-stripper: a Rust CLI that scrubs secrets out of your clipboard before you paste them somewhere you'll regret

secret-stripper is a three-day-old Rust CLI (MIT, v1.0.0, 3★) that intercepts clipboard contents on a global hotkey and replaces anything matching its 875-pattern / 43-category detection engine with [REDACTED] before you paste — catching AWS keys, OAuth tokens, SSH private keys, crypto wallet mnemonics, and more. Linux install is a one-liner; macOS and Windows require skhd or AutoHotkey v2 and take 3–5 minutes. No independent security audit yet — treat it as a useful safety net, not a certified control.

winproc-tui: a Rust TUI for process debugging that records and replays

winproc-tui is a one-day-old Rust/Ratatui Windows 11 x64 TUI (MIT, v0.1.0, 47★) that records process-metric sessions as JSON Lines for frame-by-frame replay and lets you mark two time points for an A/B delta comparison — filling a debugging gap that Task Manager, Process Explorer, and bottom all leave open.
