Referralful - The affiliate platform built for SaaS growth

Run an affiliate program for your SaaS without the busywork. Referralful tracks every referral, calculates commissions, and pays affiliates straight through Stripe.

I open-sourced my paid MCP server. 40 tools, Apache 2.0, runs locally on Mac/Windows.

So I've been running openowl as a paid product for a few months. $5/mo for unlimited tool calls, signed binary, hosted dashboard. 200 signups, 14 paid.

Last week I ripped out the licensing code and pushed the core as Apache 2.0.

It's a Python MCP server that gives any AI assistant (Claude, Codex, anything MCP-compatible) eyes and hands on your desktop. The 40 tools cover screenshots, clicking, typing, scrolling, OCR, accessibility tree queries on macOS, pywinauto on Windows, workflow recording and replay, and window watchers that fire when something changes on screen.

Install (cloning works today, PyPI publish queued):

Open sourcing OpenOwl. Yes or no?

I keep going back and forth on this so I'll just put it out there.

OpenOwl gives any AI assistant the ability to see your screen and control your computer. That's a lot of access. People are right to be cautious before installing something like this.

The strongest signal I get from people on the fence is the same every time: "is this safe? what is the binary actually doing?"

Open sourcing the code answers that question forever. No more screenshots of code reviews. No more "trust me." Just the source.
