## About

OpenMausBot is a desktop app where AI agents appear as contacts in a messaging interface. Each bot gets a job, a model and a computer. Bots run in parallel and message you when they need something. You can pin, duplicate, hide or delete bots like chats, switch a bot's model mid-conversation, and talk to a bot on a voice call where it describes its work and asks for approvals out loud.

The bots run on agent CLIs you already have installed, such as Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Kimi, Qwen and OpenCode, using your own logins and subscriptions with no proxy in between. A local server on 127.0.0.1 manages the agent processes. Transcripts, keys and events stay in ~/.openmausbot on your disk. Bots can use a cloud desktop from a provider you connect, or your own machine, and they reach Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear and other apps through Composio. Scheduled routines cover jobs like inbox sweeps, invoice reminders, PR review and weekly reports. Whole teams of bots can be installed from a single Markdown playbook.

The app is free and open source under Apache 2.0, with a Windows download available. OpenMausBot Cloud adds an always-on workspace with cloud computers, voice and scheduled tasks, at $29, $49 or $99 a month. Model usage is billed separately by your provider.

## How the score works

The percentage is the raw share of swipes that went right. Rankings weigh that share against the number of swipes (a prior of 25 swipes at 50%), so a high score from a handful of swipes ranks below a slightly lower score from many. Anyone can swipe without an account; each browser or account swipes a product once.
