Hand real work to AI agents that run on your own computer, and carry them in your pocket. MausBot is the iPhone app for OpenMausBot, the open-source agent runtime you install on your own Mac, Windows or Linux machine. Your bots work on your hardware, with your keys, on your files. Nothing is uploaded to us. WORK YOU CAN HAND OFF · Inbox triage: read the morning's mail, flag what matters, draft replies, send nothing without your yes · Pull request review: read a diff, leave comments, open the follow-up issue · Bug reproduction: drive a browser until the bug happens, then write it up with the steps · Standup digest: gather what moved yesterday and post the summary to Slack · Issue grooming: tidy a Linear backlog, label it, close what already shipped · Research watch: check a list of sites overnight and report what changed · Portal errands: log into the dull vendor site, download the invoices, park them for review · Codebase chores: run the migration, fix the lint, open the branch MESSAGE A BOT LIKE A TEAMMATE Send work from your phone the way you would text a colleague. Pick up the same thread on your computer. Each bot keeps its own model, its own computer and its own instructions, and comes back to you only when it needs a decision. A BOT ASKS BEFORE IT ACTS Shell commands, file edits and open questions arrive as cards you answer with one tap, from the lock screen if you like. Nothing risky happens while you are away without your approval. The gate is the point. TALK TO IT OUT LOUD Start a Live call and brief a bot by voice while you walk, with the chat open beside you. MANY BOTS, IN PARALLEL Run a bot per job. One owns a project, one watches the inbox, one keeps the build green. Put several in a channel and they pass work between themselves. A cross-bot inbox shows everything waiting on you in one place. IT KEEPS GOING WITHOUT YOU Routines run work on a schedule, from every few minutes to selected weekdays. Webhooks let another system start a job. Your computer does the work whether or not your phone is awake. CONNECTED APPS OAuth once and every bot can use Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear and hundreds more as tools. BRING YOUR OWN BRAIN Bots run on the Claude, Codex and Grok CLIs already installed on your machine. Switch a bot's model mid-conversation. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE MausBot talks straight to the companion service on your own computer. Transcripts and keys stay in local storage on that machine. Pair with a short-lived code from Remote access, and revoke the phone whenever you want. AT HOME OR AWAY On a trusted network the phone finds your computer by itself. For remote access, install Tailscale on both and connect by MagicDNS name. Requires OpenMausBot on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Free and open source. Tailscale is optional and is not affiliated with OpenMausBot.
