`milind-soni/OpenMausBot` (724 stars since 2026-08-11, TypeScript, MIT) is an open-source take on Grok Bot: an Electron + React 19 chat app where each bot in the sidebar is a real local agent — Claude or Codex — with its own personality, model, cloud computer and connected apps, addressed like a contact with approval gates on what matters. It distributes as a signed and notarized one-click .dmg for Apple silicon from a separate releases repo, with Windows also listed. The README opens with an unusually direct disclaimer that the project has no token and no affiliation with any cryptocurrency using the OpenMausBot, Maus or SupaMaus name.
