132typesafe-computer-useIt drives a Mac toward a goal typed in plain English: OCR and the accessibility tree read the screen, a TypeSafe classifier picks the next action, and a writing model runs only for free text. A decision costs about $0.0002, a fiftieth of a cent, against $0.032 for a frontier model reading the same screenshot.ClaudeClaude CodeGPT+1
126CodenotchA macOS agent app that turns a small black notch on a screen edge into a live tally of the coding assistants you have running: a ring per provider for how much of its limit is already spent, a hover card listing every limit window and its reset time, and a pulse inside the ring that says whether an agent is working or has stopped to ask you something.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+1
113Chat On SteroidsA desktop workspace that gives ChatGPT local tools over MCP — files, a shell, terminals, the desktop — plus a companion Chrome extension that drives the user’s own ChatGPT conversation through a tunnel, so the model works on a real project while the app records every tool call and moves the session into a fresh chat when the old one fills up.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+1
107WakeA native desktop app that reads the private session directories of every coding agent on the machine, read-only, and gives them one window: browse by agent or project, full-text search that treats Chinese text and code substrings alike, one-click resume in the original project directory, a bundled MCP server and a command line so the agents themselves can read the history back, and remote hosts mirrored over SSH.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex
109WhiteboardA desktop app that puts an agent and a person on the same canvas: the agent draws the review — sequence diagrams, entity relationships, code peeks pinned to specific commits — and every shape on that canvas links back to the code it was drawn from.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+4
105OpenBotAn open-source platform from CopilotKit that gives each AI coworker a computer of its own — a container with Chromium, a workspace volume and its own logins — where a coworker is any endpoint speaking AG-UI, and every browser, file, MCP or shell action passes through one gateway that decides it against a CEL policy, writes an audit row and only then acts, or refuses and names the rule.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+1
103EverRoomA local-first Electron workspace where files, meetings, repositories and connected accounts are filed into a Context Room: every ingested source keeps an identity, a version and a provenance record, wiki pages and memory are derived from that ledger under a policy snapshot that is itself recorded, and an agent works only inside the Room it was handed.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+1
099OpenMausBotAn open-source chat app where every bot in the sidebar is a real agent running through the CLI already installed on your machine, and each one can be handed a computer: a cloud Linux desktop, a Docker or Podman container on the same host, a container on a VPS you own, or the machine in front of you where the platform can show that it is safe.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+4
091LodyA workspace where a team shares the coding agents it already runs: connect a machine, bring Claude Code, Codex, Kimi or any other agent that speaks the protocol, and dispatch work from desktop, phone, web or terminal while sessions delegate to each other and the code stays on the machine its owner connected.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+3
088Skill RecorderA macOS-first Electron desktop app that records a real work session — screen video, app and window switches, browser URLs, clipboard previews, an optional session-owned terminal and spoken narration — then hands the timeline to the bundled GitHub Copilot CLI, which reconstructs one overall intent plus an ordered list of steps and turns the approved version into a SKILL.md procedure or a scheduled automation for Microsoft Scout, Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork or Copilot Studio.GitHub CopilotWhisper
086agentacctReads the session files your coding agents already write, records what they claim they did over MCP and hooks, prices the tokens from a public price list, and shows the whole thing in a local dashboard that never leaves the machine — keeping an agent’s word for done and a passing check as two separate facts.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+2
084ZeronA Rust desktop app that runs the coding agents you already use — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Grok, Hermes, Pi and Antigravity — on your own machine, with no account required, and syncs the sessions to your other devices only if you sign in.Claude CodeClaudeCodex+5
081MemmyA local memory hub: one service on the machine holds the traces, policies, world model and skills that Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, DeepSeek Harness, OpenClaw, Hermes and OpenCode all read and write, so context carries between agents instead of staying inside whichever one was open.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+2
078OpenChatCutA local-first video editor whose editing surface is a conversation: the built-in agent and external Codex or Claude Code sessions call the same editing tools the interface itself uses, so every change lands on a real multi-track timeline as a clip, transition, caption, effect or audio item that can still be dragged, undone and exported. Projects and media stay on the machine, and preview and final render both come out of Remotion.Claude CodeCodexClaude+8
074tty7A pure Rust terminal whose shells belong to a background server rather than to the window: quitting the app leaves them running, a restart brings the panes back with their layout and the last of what was on screen, four CLI commands let one coding agent drive another, and a remote workspace is that same server running on another machine.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+5
069TuttiA desktop workspace where several coding agents share one set of files, tasks and app outputs, so context moves between Claude Code and Codex instead of through you.ClaudeClaude CodeCodex+2
067ReticleAn MCP server and a dev-only SDK that let a coding agent read and drive a running web or desktop app from the inside, then answer with a verdict and the file and line to fix instead of a screenshot.ClaudeClaude CodeCline+7
053Clawd on DeskA pixel crab that sits on your desktop and shows what your AI coding agent is doing, so you can walk away from a long task.Claude Code
051Notch So GoodA pixel-art crab called Chawd lives in the MacBook notch and watches your coding agent — a timer while it works, a colour-coded notification when it needs you, and Allow / Deny buttons when it asks permission.ClaudeClaude Code
026vibeEmuA Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator written in Rust by vibe coding — with an unusually candid account of what that did and did not achieve.GitHub Copilot
