Who it's for

  • Developers running Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or other supported agents who want status and approval controls outside their terminal tabs.
  • Developers running agents across a Mac mini, homelab, and laptop who want to view them together.
  • Teams or individual developers using ACP-compatible agents who want to connect agents from the ACP registry.

Not the right fit if…

  • People using Windows or Linux: the app is for macOS 13 or later.
  • People who need a ready-to-download app or cannot build from source: the page says there is no download yet and installation builds the app from source.

How it fits your workflow

Build and install Littleguys on a Mac, then use its menu bar interface to see agent activity, recent messages, and which agents need attention. Reply from the interface instead of hunting through terminal tabs.

When an agent needs approval, review its command card and allow it once, always allow it, or deny it. Schedule routines or run them immediately; their results arrive in a thread.

View agents on multiple machines in one place. Littleguys finds gateways on a tailnet and LAN, and supports agents using ACP.
