Show HN: Isoform – open-source Mac app that learns you and works as you Isoform released an open-source Mac app that observes a user's activity on the computer, stores memory on disk, and routes model work to the user's own Claude Code, Codex, or Ollama rather than shipping its own model. The app requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel, and its build requires Go 1.25 or later, Node.js 20.19 or later, pnpm, and the Wails v2 CLI. Isoform also opened name reservations for "Agent of You," a planned feature where other people could hire an agent that works like the user on the user's computer and pay by the minute; Isoform states it is a name reservation today, not a live marketplace.
