BotFleet
BotFleet is a distribution of the open-source OpenMausBot desktop app, extended to run a coordinated fleet of specialized bots on your own Mac. This page tracks the add-on features BotFleet layers on top of upstream OpenMausBot and how far along each one is.
An example fleet — the bots the maintainer runs today:
Running in production today.
A background relay daemon keeps every BotFleet bot group chat in Messages.app connected to the BotFleet backend in both directions. LaunchAgents keep the relay and the server alive across logouts and reboots, so the fleet stays reachable from your phone.
App Groups and Associated Domains entitlements, BotFleet bundle identifiers, and a hosted apple-app-site-association file wire the iOS companion for universal links and TestFlight distribution.
Bot mascots change expression with what the bot is doing, so a glance at the sidebar reads like a status board.
Feature-complete and in active review or testing.
Give each bot a first, second, and third choice model. When the primary hits rate limits, quota, or an outage, BotFleet falls down the chain and retries automatically — no babysitting required.
A native ACP driver plus the dsh agent bring DeepSeek V3 and R1 into the fleet alongside Claude, Codex, and Cursor, so every bot can run on the model that fits its job.
Interrupted tasks and tool runs resume automatically after an app quit, crash, or reboot, instead of leaving a bot stuck mid-thought.
Global MCP servers from your Claude configuration are merged in and made available to every bot running on the Claude driver, and a standard skill set ships with the repo so agents working on BotFleet start with fleet conventions loaded.
Token usage and cost metrics stream to a Usage Monitor dashboard, classified by project and repo, so every bot's spend is visible in one place.
Channels can span multiple repositories, with project classifiers and clickable markdown and file links that jump straight to the source.
Click a bubble to copy it, hover for a copy button, and grab request IDs for tracing — transcript text stops fighting you.
Point webhook ingress at your own public domain instead of a generated tunnel address, with URL validation on the configured host. The secret-token endpoints can then trigger bots from CI, GitHub, and data pipelines at a stable address you control.
A menu bar tray icon keeps the fleet one click away, even when the main window is closed.
Dark and light mode follow macOS automatically, with the fixed theme modes still available.
An auto-update toggle and update banner preferences put release timing in your hands instead of the updater's.
Jump straight from a bot's settings panel into a routine's detail view to inspect schedules and recent runs without hunting through menus.
Set channel avatars from local photos through the standard file picker — a flow upstream reserves for bots — with refined chat spacing and clearer Local Setup naming throughout.
Moving GIF and HEIC images work as avatars, so bots and channels can wear live mascots.
Unavailable models are filtered out of pickers, engine settings are reordered, and provider icons plus the Codex model list are refreshed.
A custom vanguard-style logo and matching macOS and iOS app icons give BotFleet its own identity, separate from upstream's mascot.
A thin in-repo wrapper hands the iOS companion to the fleet's centralized ship automation on the host machine, so one command archives, signs, and uploads to TestFlight.
