Línea de trabajo

Start by reviewing the existing pnpm dev, pnpm dev:web, and pnpm dev:browser entry points and the .env configuration; the issue does not name implementation files or select a desktop framework. Define the platform and setup flow before implementing process health, model switching, and login startup. Done means the stated fresh-clone, model-switching, and clean-stop checks pass.

Descripción

What outcome should OpenMuse handle?

Starting, stopping and configuring a self-hosted OpenMuse without touching a terminal.

Today, running OpenMuse locally means keeping two or three terminal windows open (pnpm dev, pnpm dev:web, pnpm dev:browser), editing .env by hand to change models, and restarting processes after every change. That's fine for developers, but it's the main thing standing between OpenMuse and people who'd love a personal agent but have never used a terminal. I'm one of those people, and it's where I got stuck.

Proposed behavior

A small desktop companion app that wraps the existing scripts. I have a working macOS menu bar prototype, built with Claude Code:

  • One button to start/stop everything: server, web app and browser worker, with a status light for each (off / starting / running / failed + a link to logs).
  • Open OpenMuse button that lights up once the web app and server are healthy.
  • Model picker: lists local models (LM Studio in my prototype, filtered to models that support tool use), writes MODEL= to .env, restarts the server, and loads the new model in LM Studio right away so the switch is visible.
  • Starts the local model server (LM Studio) if it isn't running.
  • "Start OpenMuse when I log in" toggle.
  • Links to logs and the settings file.

It doesn't change OpenMuse itself: it only runs the existing pnpm scripts and edits .env.

To make it useful beyond my setup, it would need:

  • a first-run setup (choose the OpenMuse folder, the CopilotKit key step, generating WORKER_TOKEN)
  • support for Ollama and cloud providers, not just LM Studio
  • a cross-platform answer, e.g. a Tauri/Electron app, or making this part of the web app itself
  • signing and distribution

Happy to share the prototype code if it's useful. I wanted to check whether this fits the project's direction before building it any further.

How would we verify it works?
  • From a fresh clone with .env configured: click Start → all three services report healthy → Open OpenMuse loads localhost:8081 and a chat message gets a reply.
  • Change the model in the picker → the next request to the model provider uses the new model ID (checked in LM Studio's server log).
  • Stop → no OpenMuse processes left listening on 8787, 8081 or 8790.
  • Platform dependencies: macOS 14+ for the prototype; LM Studio's lms CLI for the local model features.
