The notch becomes a workstation. A native macOS AI shell that lives where your cursor already does.
OpenMeow puts ambient AI in the one place every pro looks at all day — the notch of your MacBook Pro. Hit ⌃⌘ from anywhere and a native shell drops out of the notch: ask a question and the answer streams inline, or hand a task to a browser agent and watch it drive real Chromium against the live web. No tab switch. No sidebar. No Electron.
This repo is the public download channel for OpenMeow binaries. Source code lives in a separate private repository.

OpenMeow isn't one agent — it's a routing surface for specialized subagents, each with their own tools and personality:
- Kitty — the general-purpose chat agent. Defaults to Haiku 4.5 for snappy back-and-forth. Purple accent.
- Fishy — the browser agent. Drives a real Chromium via the TinyFish substrate to reach the 90% of the web that lives behind logins and UIs rather than APIs. Orange accent. Returns structured result cards with source links and live preview URLs.
- Cody — coding agent (roadmap — coming soon).
Pick an agent from the chip row in the expanded shell, or type to the default (Kitty).
- First paint under 200ms from
⌃⌘— streaming tokens render as they arrive, nothing blocks the UI thread. - No Electron. Pure AppKit/SwiftUI with native NSTextView composers, native streaming, native typography.
- Keychain-backed credentials — gateway tokens never hit disk in plaintext.
- Threads persist across days. Conversation history is local and queryable.
