OpenMinis/OpenMinis

OpenMinis — The AI Agent app across platforms. Fully free and open source.

What it solves

OpenMinis provides a private, on-device AI agent for mobile users that overcomes the limitations of standard chat apps by giving LLMs direct access to a local computing environment and deep system integrations on iOS and Android.

How it works

The app allows users to bring their own AI models (via API keys for Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.) and runs them within a native mobile experience. It integrates a sandboxed Linux environment (Alpine Linux via iSH on iOS and PRoot on Android) directly on the device, enabling the agent to run scripts, install packages, and manage files. It further connects the agent to device-level tools like Health, Calendar, Reminders, and HomeKit, and provides browser automation capabilities.

Who it’s for

Mobile users who want a powerful, extensible AI assistant that can perform actual tasks on their device and the web, rather than just generating text.

Highlights

  • On-device Linux Shell: A sandboxed Alpine Linux environment for running real code and scripts.
  • Deep System Integration: Direct access to mobile OS features like Health, Calendar, and Contacts as tools for the AI.
  • Browser Automation: The ability for the agent to browse and interact with the web.
  • Extensible Skills: A system where users can load specific instructions and scripts (skills) on demand, compatible with formats from Claude, Codex, and Hermes Agent.
  • Persistent Memory: Maintains context and memory across different sessions.
  • Workspaces: Ability to organize work into separate, addressable contexts.

    melandlabs/openloomi

    OpenLoomi is an open‑source, cross‑platform desktop “attention agent” that continuously gathers context from your work tools (email, chat, issue trackers, docs) into a searchable, encrypted memory. It surfaces reminders and lets you ask an LLM for help directly inside messaging apps. The runtime is agent‑agnostic, offering Skills and Plugins that integrate with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc. Installable via simple binaries, it emphasizes local‑first privacy and works out‑of‑the‑box.

    allenhutchison/obsidian-gemini

    Gemini Scribe is an Obsidian plugin that connects to Gemini, Ollama, OpenAI, or Anthropic models, turning the note‑taking app into an AI‑driven assistant. It offers an agent with tool‑calling (file search, create/edit notes, deep research), per‑feature provider routing, semantic vault search, smart summarisation, IDE‑style completions, scheduled tasks, lifecycle hooks, and project‑scoped skills—all stored locally as markdown files.

  • Project
    theJayTea/WritingTools

    Writing Tools is a free, open‑source desktop app for Windows, Linux and macOS that lets you invoke an LLM anywhere on your computer with a hot‑key. It can proofread, rewrite, change tone, translate, summarise web pages or YouTube transcripts, and even chat with the model. You can use cloud APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or run local models via Ollama, llama.cpp or Apple‑silicon MLX. The app is privacy‑focused (no telemetry, local storage of API keys) and licensed under GPL‑v3.

    coulsontl/ai-toolbox

    AI Toolbox is a cross‑platform desktop manager that centralises configuration, prompts, plugins, session history and backup for many AI coding assistants (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, etc.). It offers a GUI, local proxy gateway, WSL/SSH sync, skill marketplace, and system‑tray shortcuts, built with React/Tauri and SQLite.
