Crucix
Your personal intelligence agent. Watches the world from multiple data sources and pings you when something changes.
The Lens
Crucix continuously monitors data sources you define and alerts you when something matches your criteria. It's a personal intelligence agent that does the monitoring you'd otherwise do manually across dozens of tabs.
You configure what to watch (websites, APIs, RSS feeds, social media) and what counts as important. When something matches your criteria, it sends you a notification. It's Google Alerts on steroids, running locally and customizable to any data source. AGPL-3.0 licensed, JavaScript.
The catch: AGPL-3.0 means if you modify it and offer it as a service, you must open source your changes. The 'watches everything' promise requires you to configure everything. There's no magic default that just works. You need to define your sources, your triggers, and your notification channels. And running continuous monitoring means this needs to be always-on somewhere: your machine, a VPS, or a container.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFully open source under AGPL-3.0. No paid tier, no hosted version. You self-host it on your own machine or server. AGPL means free for personal and internal use; commercial SaaS usage requires open-sourcing modifications.
The only ongoing cost is hosting if you run it on a VPS (~$5-10/mo for a small instance).
Free to self-host. Budget $5-10/mo if you need it running 24/7 on a VPS.
