Run nanoMuse, an open-source personal agent, across phone, desktop and web

The nanoMuse project is an open-source personal agent that runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and the browser under one account. It can operate apps through their screens, keep working in the background and ask before irreversible actions.

The problem

Most assistants answer questions, run in a single cloud VM, or live only on the one device where they are installed. Apps without an API are hard for them to reach, and users have no easy way to share one agent across their phone and computer.

How they did it

  1. Install the app for your platform (Android APK, iOS TestFlight beta, macOS, Windows, Linux) or try the browser demo.
  2. Sign in with an e-mail or a mainland-China phone number to get a free allowance of model use on the community relay.
  3. Optionally add your own key from one of eighteen providers, or use an existing ChatGPT, Claude or Kimi plan.
  4. Turn on Hands so the agent can operate phone apps and computer windows through their screens.
  5. Optionally self-host: run scripts/self-host.sh for your own relay, or docker compose up -d app for the web app.

From the official docs

bash scripts/self-host.sh --local

Results

  • The article gives no performance metrics; it is a project README.
  • Per the README, the phone, desktop and web share one account and show the same conversations.
  • Per the README, a task said on the phone can run on a PC, with approvals returning to the device in hand.
  • The repository shows 207 stars and 25 forks.

As reported by the source (nanoMuse GitHub README); AgentGid did not measure these figures.

Takeaway. If you want one agent spanning phone and computer without sending everything to a vendor cloud, you can self-host the relay and bring your own model key.
AgentGid's take

This suits an individual or a small technical team comfortable with APKs, TestFlight betas and optionally Docker or shell scripts for self-hosting. The README gives no performance metrics, and the 207 stars and 25 forks point to an early project, so expect rough edges before letting Hands operate apps. If you want a more established open-source option, OpenClaw (Free (OSS)) ranks first in AgentGid's General category.

Script Gemini CLI in your terminal: explain logs, write commits, document files

Gemini CLI's headless mode takes piped input and returns plain text or JSON. That makes it usable inside shell scripts, aliases and CI jobs.

Explanations of failures from piped logs, and commit messages generated from staged diffs.
