An Autonomous Agentic Agent for Mac, and exclusive Apple only harnesss. Supports  automation, scripting, coding, build anything and more. Powered by 21 LLM providers across local and cloud platforms.

Because the official binaries carry a real Developer ID, the **Launch Agent and Launch Daemon always register and never get \"lost\"** — that only happens with ad-hoc source builds (see Option B below). If your helpers disappeared, just install the [latest release binary](https://github.com/AgentiLoop/Agent/releases/latest).\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start (Build from Source)\n\n> Only needed if you want to hack on Agent! itself. Everyone else: use the signed binary above.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/AgentiLoop/agent.git\ncd Agent\n```\n\n**Option A — Xcode (Apple Developer account):** open `Agent.xcodeproj`, set your Development Team, Build & Run the `Agent` target, approve the helper when prompted.\n\n**Option B — no developer account (Xcode Command Line Tools only):**\n```bash\n./build.sh              # Debug\n./build.sh Release      # Release\nopen \"build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug/Agent!.app\"\n```\n\n> ⚠️ Option B builds are ad-hoc signed. The Launch Agent/Daemon helpers won't register (SMAppService needs a Team ID), but the LLM loop, all tools, Accessibility, AppleScript, shell, and MCP still work. **Want the helpers without a developer account? Use the signed, notarized release binary — no compiling required.**\n\n> 💡 **Cheap setup:** **GLM-5.3** via **Z.ai** (fastest signup, default model) costs pennies per million tokens. Running locally? Only **GLM-4.7-Turbo** (32B) fits consumer hardware (64–128GB Apple Silicon via Ollama).\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nMIT — free and open source.\n\n---\n\n> ⚠️ **Legal Notice & Attribution**\n>\n> ### Trademark Notice\n>\n> \"AgentiLoop Agent! for Mac\" is an independent software project and is **not** affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with Apple Inc. \"Apple,\" \"Mac,\" \"Mac mini,\" \"MacBook,\" \"macOS,\" and related marks are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
