Routi Bot – Mac'inizde kendi masaüstü bilgisayarlarına sahip yapay zeka botları

Bots that live on your Mac, each with its own personality, model and screen. Give one a job, like watching a market, finding a hotel, or checking a price every morning, and it opens a browser and does it, on any AI you already pay for: a Claude plan, a ChatGPT plan, or an API key. Routi is a Mac app, with iPhone and iPad apps for reaching the same bots when you are away from it.

“One shared Linux, a screen per bot, any model you already pay for — on the Mac that stays on. Same idea, cleanly executed. Ship it.”

Download Routi Bot , open the disk image, drag the app to Applications, open it.

Setup does the rest, in three screens: one command to paste into Terminal that installs Routi Core — the part that keeps your bots and does the work, and starts at every login; a sign-in with Claude or ChatGPT, or an API key; and, if you want bots that browse, the desktop they browse in. Claude Code and Codex come with the core.

The desktop is a Linux machine in Docker Desktop , one screen per bot, kept apart from your own. Install Docker and set it to start at login; setup checks for it and builds the desktop right there, and Settings → Screens shows its state afterwards. Bots without a screen, and bots set to This Mac , don't need it.

Do this on the Mac that stays on. Give it automatic login, so the Keychain is unlocked after a reboot, and set it to never sleep.

Needs macOS 14 or newer.

Install the app anywhere and point it at the host under Settings → Routi Core. A Tailscale name works. iPhone and iPad are the same app; they're coming.

For a mini with no monitor, or if you'd rather manage the core yourself:

or the install command above, which needs nothing on the Mac beforehand.

Stops and removes the core, its login agent, the desktop machine and image in Docker, and the API keys Routi stored in the Keychain. Your bots and conversations stay in ~/.routi , so reinstalling brings them back. To remove those and the app as well:

Add --dry-run to either to see what would go without touching anything. Docker Desktop itself, and the sign-ins that belong to Claude Code, Codex and Grok, are left alone — they were yours before Routi.

Routi is for a Mac that stays on: the Mac mini in the corner, the laptop you replaced, any spare Mac you would like to turn into a small server that runs your bots all day.
