MausBot

MausBot (open-source OpenMausBot) is an open-source Grok Bot-style desktop app: a team of bots on your machine that reuse Claude Code / Codex / Grok CLIs and subscriptions you already have — with optional cloud desktops per bot.

Local-first by default: a local harness owns agent processes; keys and transcripts stay on disk. Connect Gmail/Slack/GitHub and more via Composio-style integrations.

Highlights:

• Site: https://mausbot.com ; common repo path milind-soni/OpenMausBot;
• Desktop free/OSS (Apache 2.0 messaging); model spend is yours;
• Multi-bot, calendar automations, voice calls (BYO key), optional Cloud plans;
• Strong GitHub trending around 2026-11.

Why it matters

Many want Grok Bot-style multi-bot orchestration without a single locked subscription. MausBot turns existing CLIs into a parallel local team, with a self-hostable OSS path.

Limits

Local bots need the host awake; phone apps are companions. Cloud and some integrations cost extra. Ship fast — verify against the live site and README.

1. Download the desktop app from https://mausbot.com ;
2. Connect at least one agent engine (Claude Code/Codex/etc.) in settings;
3. Create a first bot, give a small task, and review approvals;
4. Add apps or cloud computers only when needed; use a dedicated working folder first.
