nanoMuse

Active·★ 2.7k·GPL-3.0·Updated 2026-10-27

nanoMuse is a GPL-3.0 personal agent modelled on the idea of an assistant that does things rather than answers questions. The repository contains the Android app, the desktop app, the iPhone/iPad app (TestFlight), the web console and the relay that joins them, so the whole set can be run and deployed yourself. It is built on OpenMinis and comes with an arXiv paper from Zhejiang University authors.

Each device runs its own agent: on Android an Alpine Linux shell under proot, a browser and MCP; on the desktop a Python runtime for its Hands. With Hands on it operates phone apps and desktop windows through screenshots, which covers apps that have no API, though not on iOS. It stops before deleting, sending or paying, hands logins and CAPTCHAs back to you, runs scheduled routines while the app is closed, keeps memory as editable Markdown and can answer in Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom and Telegram.

Signing in gives a free model allowance on a community relay paid for by the developer; after that you bring a key for one of 21 providers or a plan you already pay for. Conversation text passes through the relay, so privacy-minded users should self-host it. The desktop builds are not notarised on macOS.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-23.

+Asks before deleting, sending or paying, and hands logins and CAPTCHAs back to you.

Trade-offs

!Conversation text goes through the relay; using the community relay means trusting a third party.
!Screen control is unavailable on iOS, and desktop builds are unsigned or not notarised.
!A young project moving fast, with a new version every few days.
