This list contains slop-free (without LLM generated code; supposedly) open source software. It is a positive counterpart of Open-Source Slopware. Check out and give thumbs up also to AI Slopfree Software Catalog which contains software dedicated against LLMs!
Applications in this list are deemed slop-free by a quick eye test, so it does not necessarily mean that they indeed are not tainted with machine generated code.
So, why is it important to avoid LLM generated code?
I will try to add links at some time to the statements above to back them up.
Of course, I see how and where generative tools could be helpful and sometimes I feel tempted to find an acceptable way to use them, but for now the direct and indirect costs far too much outweighs gains.
While the project has AGENTS.md and and therefore permissive LLM policy (CONTRIBUTING.md — Policy on the Use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Tooling), it currently does not have obvious signs of LLM usage.

Isaiah is a self-hostable service that enables you to manage all your Docker resources on a remote server. It is an attempt at recreating the Lazydocker command-line application from scratch, while making it available as a web application without compromising on the features.
Take this with a grain of salt as description of some pull requests seem to be (at least partially) machine-generated.

Containers which offer an environment as close as possible as the one you'd get from a VM but without the overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating all the hardware.
From CONTRIBUTING.md — AI Generated Code:
Substantially AI generated code is not welcome. There are several reasons for this. First, it violates the "The contribution was created in whole or in part by me" statement of DCO. Second, the licensing implications are not yet clear. Thirdly, we expect anyone who submits code to fully understand what they are submitting. Finally, we put a lot of time into reviewing patch submissions. Increasing the volume of code to be reviewed with autogenerated boilerplate drivel will take away time from more important reviews.

From CONTRIBUTING.md — 6. License and Contributions:
We do not accept commits generated or authored by LLMs or agents. Every commit must be personally authored, reviewed, tested, fully understood, and signed off by the contributor submitting it.
And 5.1 Authorship:
We don't accept AI agents as independent contributors, or commits that list an AI tool as author or co-author.
But then in 5. AI Tooling and Accountability:
The maintainers selectively use AI tools where doing so adds value, including for low-risk, repetitive tasks and as an additional layer of code review. They decide when these tools are appropriate based on the task, its risks and their own expertise. […] External contributors may use AI tools as well, in accordance with the rules below that apply to all contributions, both by maintainers and external contributors.
So, given all that, while the project has no obvious usage of LLMs, it likely has some sort of usage, so this one is tricky.
