Show HN: Agenteam – Agents that live on your desktop

Agenteam, a new macOS app in early access, lets users run coding agent CLIs like Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and pi as floating desktop characters that persist across restarts, with a free tier and a $9.9 one-time early-access price. The app does not sell tokens or run models, instead driving the user's existing agent CLI as a long-lived process on their own Mac, with conversations and settings stored locally.

It sits on top of everything

No window to find, no tab to switch to. An agent floats over whatever you are doing; click it and its chat balloon opens beside it, on whichever side of the screen has the room.

macOS · early access

Agenteam turns the coding agent CLIs you already run — Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi — into little characters that float above every other window. Click one, say what you want, and it does the work in the folder you gave it.

No window to find, no tab to switch to. An agent floats over whatever you are doing; click it and its chat balloon opens beside it, on whichever side of the screen has the room.

Every agent works inside one workspace — a folder of its own, or a repo you point it at. The file tree lives right next to the conversation, so what it just wrote is one click away.

Ask for “every morning at nine” and the agent writes itself a routine. It runs on schedule, tells you what happened, and you can turn it off in the same place you set it up.

Each agent holds one long conversation across restarts. Talk to the balloon on the desktop or to the main window — same agent, same thread, same folder.

Agenteam does not sell you tokens and does not run a model. It drives the agent CLI you have already installed and paid for, as a long-lived process on your own Mac.

Conversations, settings and transcripts stay on your machine. Each agent runs with the permission mode you pick, inside the workspace you chose for it.

Because three is enough to find out whether you want a fourth. One agent in your notes, one in a repo, one watching something — if that is your whole life, the free app is the whole product and you owe nothing.

Because it is early. Things are still moving, some backends are newer than others, and the price is what an early build is worth. It goes up when things settle.
