A tiny pixel robot that lives on your Touch Bar

Pix lives in a cozy pixel room on your MacBook Pro's Touch Bar and follows your day. It types at its desk while you code, sits on the couch for videos, wears a headset on calls and strolls by the window while you browse. It also shows how your AI coding agents are doing: typing while they work, waving when they need approval, hopping when they're done. Free, open source, fully private, ~0.01% CPU.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
My Touch Bar spent years showing me buttons I never pressed, so I gave it a tenant. Pix is a little pixel robot that lives there and reacts to what you're doing. It codes when you code, watches when you watch and gets sleepy late at night.
It started as a toy. Then I started running AI coding agents all day, and Pix turned into the most useful thing on my desk. A glance at the Touch Bar tells me whether Claude is working, waiting for my approval, or finished. Any tool can drive it through a pix:// URL.
A few things I cared about:
• 100% local. No accounts, no analytics, nothing leaves your Mac.
• Featherlight, around 0.01% CPU.
• Free and MIT-licensed.
Honest caveat: it needs a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar (2016–2022) on macOS 14 or newer. If you have one gathering dust, this is for you.
Install: brew install eslamalii/tap/pix
Tap Pix twice to pet it ♥. I'd love to hear which Spot you'd add next.
