Cetus: macOS Desktop App Unifies Claude Code, Codex, and Agent Runtimes with Scheduling
aigclink · x · 2026-08-24
Cetus is a macOS desktop application that wraps existing agent runtimes like Claude Code, Codex, and DeepSeek Harness. Instead of replacing them, it adds a desktop layer focused on entry points, environment context, scheduling, and review, leaving intelligence and execution to the underlying runtimes.
Key features include:
- Quick Launcher: Summoned with a global hotkey (double Cmd), it automatically captures context such as screenshots, active apps, browser URLs, and selected text, all of which can be individually removed.
- Automations: Allows scheduling any prompt as a one-off or recurring task (cron/daily). Tasks run in the background in new conversations, with results deposited into a review queue.
- Additional features: Global quick reply and screen context integration.
