Open-source body for the AI agent you already run

OpenCharm is an open-source body for the AI agent you already run, right by your Mac's notch. Hold one key to talk and Claude Code, Codex or any agent gets to work, answers out loud and asks when it needs you. Next, it hangs from your keychain.
my hesitation with giving the agent a face is that the face's state and the agent's actual state are two different systems that can drift apart. if the eyes show "working" based on something like a heartbeat or process-alive check, that's a different claim than "the agent is making progress on your task." a hung tool call or a silent retry loop can look identical to real progress from the outside. does the thinking/working/needs-you state come from the agent's own self-reported status, or from something that can independently tell the difference between busy and stuck
@galdayan yep agree with that, a face that lies is worse than no face at all. OpenCharm doesn't run on a heartbeat but follows the real events between you and the agent and when it asks for you it's the agent's actual permission request. for sure rn, the weak spot is a hung tool call which still looks like thinking until a timer ends it so a real stuck face is next. How would you tell stuck from slow?
