Open-Source Animal Crossing–Style UI for Claude Code Agents
We posted here on Monday and got some great feedback. We’ve implemented a few of the most requested updates: - iMessage channel support (agents can text people and you can text agents) Other channels are simple to extend. - A built-in browser (agents can navigate and interact with websites) - Scheduling (run tasks on a timer / cron/ in the future) - Built in tunneling so that the agents can share local stuff with you over the internet - More robust MCP and Skills support so anyone can extend it - Auto approval for agent requests If you didn’t see the original: Outworked is a…
In plain words
Outworked is a desktop application that runs Claude Code agents locally as a coordinated team. Users assign goals, and an orchestrator breaks them into tasks distributed across parallel-working agents. Agents can write code, browse the web, send iMessages, schedule tasks, and communicate with each other. The interface uses an Animal Crossing-style design. It supports extensibility through MCP and custom skills, includes built-in tunneling for sharing local resources, and offers auto-approval for agent requests.

In the maker’s words, at launch
We posted here on Monday and got some great feedback.

Agents can run in parallel, talk to each other, write code, and now also browse the web and send messages. It runs locally and plugs into your existing Claude Code setup. Would love to hear what we should build next. Thanks again!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
