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.

Filter Loading Sorry, something went wrong. Uh oh! There was an error while loading. Please reload this page . Outworked is a desktop app that turns Claude into a team of AI employees. Hire agents. Give them roles. Watch them write code, interact with the web, send messages, and run scheduled tasks — all from an office on your Mac. These are real things you can do today, not a roadmap. (probably) You watched the whole thing happen at the office. You are wowed. Your cofounder gives you more equity. Total prompts from you: 1 . No scripts to maintain. No GitHub Actions to debug. Just an agent with a schedule. Three agents working simultaneously, finishing in minutes what would take you…from github.com

1CodeJan 2026 · github.com · ▲569Just to clarify the background a bit. This project wasn’t planned as a big standalone release at first. On January 16, Ollama added support for an Anthropic-compatible API, and I was curious how far this could be pushed in practice. I decided to try plugging local Ollama models directly into a Claude Code-style workflow and see if it would actually work end to end. Here is the release note from Ollama that made this possible: https://ollama.com/blog/claude Technically, what I do is pretty straightforward: - Detect which local models are available in Ollama. - When…

Agent-of-empires: OpenCode and Claude Code session managerJan 2026 · github.com · ▲118Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…
BatonApr 2026 · getbaton.dev · ▲106Hi, I built this because running multiple Claude Code agents across multiple IDE and terminal windows was getting messy. Like many, I went from working at one thing at the time, to multiple, and it was all changing quite fast. I needed one place to see all my agents and worktrees, seamlessly switch between them, monitor their status and once their done, review their changes. I also wanted to quickly spin up new agents in isolated worktrees whenever an idea came to mind. I've been building Baton from within Baton for a while now, which has been a pretty fun loop. Would love to hear what you…
