nanoMuse

nanoMuse is an open-source personal agent for every device you own. One agent with a name and a look of its own, in the style of Meta's Muse: it does things instead of answering questions, keeps working while the app is closed, remembers you, and stops to ask before anything you could not undo.

nano means the whole set, small enough to run and deploy yourself: the phone app, the desktop app, the web console and the relay that joins them are all in this repository, under GPL-3.0-or-later. Free, open source, non-profit. Sign in and you get a free allowance of model use on the community relay; when it is gone, use your own key. The same relay runs on a server of yours, so nothing has to leave your house.

What it does

- Does things. A Linux shell, a browser, MCP servers and skills, and, with Hands on, the apps on your phone and the windows on your computer through their screens, for everything that never had an API. - Asks first. A stop before deleting, sending or paying, remembered for once, this chat or always; passwords and codes are yours to type. A login or a CAPTCHA is handed to you, Done resumes. - Reaches your other devices. Say it on the phone, it runs on your PC; @Mac … at the start of a message sends the task there. Approvals come back to the device in your hand. - Keeps going. Goals checked on a schedule, routines that run while the app is closed, a feed written for you each morning. - Remembers you. What it is, what it knows about you and when it wakes are Markdown files you can read and edit. - Lives in your chat apps. It answers in 飞书, 钉钉, 企业微信 and Telegram. - A look of its own. Describe one, your image model draws it, a video model makes it move. A small dragon by default. - Any model. The relay's allowance, your own key at one of eighteen providers (Bailian, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek and more), or a plan you already pay for: ChatGPT, Claude, Kimi. A provider without picture or video models leaves those two off, and the app says so.

How it works

Each device runs its own agent: the phone inside the APK (Alpine Linux under proot, a shell, a browser, MCP), the computer inside nanoMuse Desktop (DeepSeek Harness with the Python runtime for the hands). Signed in, they meet on the relay and can ask each other for things; the text of the conversations travels through it, files and screenshots stay where they were made.

Compared with Muse and OpenMinis

- Where the agent runs: Meta Muse, a cloud VM per user; OpenMinis, the phone it is installed on; nanoMuse, your phone, your computer, or a server of yours, one account across them. - Apps without an API: Meta Muse, out of reach; OpenMinis, an accessibility CLI on Android; nanoMuse, the screen as a hand on the phone and the computer, with screenshots, APIs first, you take over for logins. Not on iOS, where the system does not allow it. - Other devices: Meta Muse, clients of one VM; OpenMinis, the one it is installed on; nanoMuse, devices ask each other for things over the hub, with approvals where you are. - Models: Meta Muse, Meta's; OpenMinis, bring your own; nanoMuse, the relay's free allowance, or your own. - Licence: Meta Muse, closed; OpenMinis, GPL-3.0; nanoMuse, GPL-3.0-or-later, built on OpenMinis.
