littleguys

littleguys is a free, open-source macOS app that gives every AI agent you run its own contact and chat thread, in the style of a messaging app. Instead of hunting through terminal tabs, you talk to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenCode, OpenClaw or Hermes agents from one window and watch a small character in the menu bar act out who is working and who needs you.

Commands that need permission appear as approval cards (allow once, always allow or deny) rather than a buried [y/N] prompt. A status view shows every agent on every machine with a live ring, the last message and a quick reply, and finds gateways on your tailnet and LAN automatically, so agents on a Mac mini, a homelab and a laptop sit side by side. Routines let you schedule recurring jobs such as morning digests or nightly dependency bumps, with run-now and results delivered into a thread.

littleguys speaks the Agent Client Protocol, so any ACP agent can be added from the registry. It is a friendly front end for agents you already run, not a new place to run them. The app is MIT-licensed, built with a Rust core and React on Tauri, talks directly to your agents with no account, cloud or telemetry, and installs as a signed macOS 13+ build for Apple silicon and Intel or via Homebrew.
