Is this "macos26" official Apple github account?

Nope, looks like someone's angling for some sweet domain parking money. Or a lawsuit, given macOS is a trademark.

Apple had plenty of time to reserve both macOS26 on Github and macOS26.app. They can send a C&D when they want to. And I will gladly change it.

I was surprised it was even available.

The goal to emphasize that it was built for macOS26 users.

The original website is https://agent.macOS26.app and it clear states it's for macOS26 even thought I still get users asking if it works with El Cap a tan.

Open-source maintainers don't owe anyone perfectly-manicured marketing copy on their landing pages. Honestly, the fact that is the first thing you learn humanises the username behind the keyboard

> the fact that is the first thing you learn humanises the username behind the keyboard The username is macOS26. The name is "Agent!". As in "Agentic AI for your entire Mac Desktop". All commits are made by this entity. Until someone here told me there is a real guy behind it I sincerely gotta say, it looks like there's no human behind the keyboard and actually there's no keyboard at all. Combined with cancer message…

Thanks! :)

OK, I take it back. What can I say, even knowing he is working on this LLM stuff that's becoming the curse of humanity I still wish him beat cancer.

Recently I tried a similar project: Fazm. It's also implemented in Swift, just like Agent here. The Fazm feature set is similar with with main differences are it's focused more on Claude exclusively. https://github.com/mediar-ai/fazm

Agent! supports over 17+ LLM providers including local and remote LLMs.

Would love to be able to use this with my Claude Max Plan subscription ($100/month)... not going to pay with an API Key which burns through tokens way faster. Might try it for the local Apple Intelligence and accessibility to drive local apps tho.

talk to claude.

I honestly don't think anyone starred, watched or forked it because it was a person with cancer. They starred it because it's a good app. One that is missing on macOS.

Today, I used it to weed out hundreds of Linkedin "followings" with Safari. worked like a champ. It does very well at coding tasks too and automating Xcode builds.
