About

You paid for the device, but the company still controls it: ads on your TV, a monthly fee for your wearable, a speaker that's always listening, a paywall on your doorbell. Open-source builders have fixed most of it, but the fixes are buried across GitHub, Reddit and X. co.build puts 2,900+ mods for nearly 3,000 devices in one place. Every mod shows what it does, who built it and whether it worked on your exact model. Paste a setup prompt into Claude or ChatGPT, or request what gets built next.

AI Summary

Cobuild aggregates over 2,900 modifications for nearly 3,000 devices, providing users with open-source solutions to regain control over their Internet of Things and wearable devices. Each mod includes details on functionality, creator, and compatibility with specific models.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
