nanoMuse

nanoMuse is an open-source personal agent for every device you own, developed by the nano-muse organization as a non-profit community project under GPL-3.0-or-later. One agent with its own name and look runs on Android, iPhone and iPad, macOS, Windows, Linux and the web, sharing one account and the same conversations. The latest listed release is 0.1.41 "Choice", dated 2026-10-07.

What It Is

nanoMuse is a cross-device personal agent that does things rather than only answering questions. It has a Linux shell, a browser, MCP servers and skills. With "Hands" turned on, it can operate phone apps and computer windows through their screens, which covers software without an API. Its identity, what it knows about the user and when it wakes are stored as Markdown files the user can read and edit.

How the Multi-Device Setup Works

Each device runs its own agent: the phone app runs Alpine Linux under proot inside the APK, while the desktop app is built as a plugin of DeepSeek Harness with a Python runtime for the hands. When signed in, devices meet on a relay and can ask each other for things. A task started on the phone can run on a PC, and approvals return to the device in the user's hand. Conversation text travels through the relay, while files and screenshots stay where they were made.

Safety and Approvals

Every tool call goes through a component called the Sentinel, which stops to ask before deleting, sending or paying. Approvals can be remembered for once, for the chat, or always. Passwords and codes are typed by the user, and logins or CAPTCHAs are handed over to the user, who resumes the agent with Done.

Models, Self-Hosting and Chat Apps

The project documents a free allowance of model use on a community relay, your own key with one of eighteen providers (including Bailian, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini and DeepSeek), or existing ChatGPT, Claude or Kimi plans. The same relay can run on a server you control, via a script or Docker. The agent can also answer in Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom and Telegram, run scheduled goals and routines while the app is closed, and generate a custom look with image and video models.

Current Status

The iPhone and iPad build is distributed through TestFlight as a beta, with the public link delivering the build once Apple's beta review passes. The browser demo runs on a simulated phone using MobileGym re-creations of apps. The phone app is based on OpenMinis 1.13. nanoMuse is not affiliated with Meta Platforms.
