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.", "body_md": "### It sits on top of everything\n\nNo 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.\n\nmacOS · early access\n\nAgenteam 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.\n\nNo 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.\n\nEvery 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.\n\nAsk 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.\n\nEach 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.\n\nAgenteam 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.\n\nConversations, settings and transcripts stay on your machine. Each agent runs with the permission mode you pick, inside the workspace you chose for it.\n\nFree\n\n$0\n\nNo account, no trial that runs out.\n\nmacOS, signed and notarised.\n\nEarly bird\n\n$9.9\n\nOne payment, no subscription. This is the early-access price and it goes up later; what you buy now stays bought.\n\nPaste the key into Settings → Licence.\n\nBecause 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.\n\nBecause 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.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agenteam-agents-that-live-on-your-desktop", "canonical_source": "https://agenteam.org/", "published_at": "2026-08-27 01:48:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-27 02:18:33.299807+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Agenteam", "Claude Code", "Codex", "opencode", "pi", "macOS"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agenteam-agents-that-live-on-your-desktop", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agenteam-agents-that-live-on-your-desktop.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agenteam-agents-that-live-on-your-desktop.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agenteam-agents-that-live-on-your-desktop.jsonld"}}
