OpenMausBot: open-source, local-first alternative to Meta Muse and OpenAI dots hits 9.4k stars
alex_verem · x · 2026-11-01
OpenMausBot is an open-source, local-first alternative to Meta Muse, OpenAI dots and Cue by Manus: a chat app where you run a team of AI agents on your own machine.
- Each bot in the sidebar is a real agent with its own personality, model, cloud computer and connected apps; you talk to them like contacts and approve risky actions before they run
- Bots are powered by your own Claude, Codex or Grok accounts; chat history and keys stay in a local folder
- Built with TypeScript, React 19 and Electron; available for macOS (Apple Silicon/Intel), Windows and Ubuntu; Apache-2.0 licensed
- 9.4k stars and 1.3k forks on GitHub
The author's pitch: an AI that reads your email and files belongs on your own computer — the model providers still see prompts, but you hold the history.
