A 24/7 self-learning AI agent with an integrated IDE workspace that runs itself.
Works with your existing Claude Code or OpenAI Codex subscription. No extra API key needed.
Download for macOS · Website · Discord · Demo
The agent manages its own goals, tracks research, messages you on Telegram and WhatsApp, runs scheduled tasks, and remembers everything across sessions.

Recent releases turned dorabot desktop into a practical IDE-style workspace:
- File explorer with keyboard navigation and support for all file types
- Monaco editor (edit mode by default, with autosave)
- Git panel with ahead/behind status and cleaner staging flows
- Real PTY terminal, tabs, split panes, and diff view
Daily journals, curated memory, personality config. The agent remembers decisions, preferences, and context across every session. Full-text search over all past conversations. It gets better the more you use it.
Cron jobs, scheduled pulses, recurring tasks. The agent wakes up, does work, and messages you. iCal RRULE support, Apple Calendar sync (shows on Watch and iPhone).
The agent proposes goals, writes plans, and executes them. You approve from the desktop app or Telegram. Full pipeline: research, plan, review, execute, done.
The agent creates and maintains its own research for you. Topics tracked, categorized, and searchable. Point it at anything and it keeps the knowledge organized.
Same agent on WhatsApp and Telegram, with the same memory and context as desktop sessions. Send text, photos, voice, and documents.
Built-in skills for GitHub, email, macOS, PR review, and agent swarms. Browse community skills and connect MCP servers via Smithery.
- Browser automation. 40+ actions with your real Chrome profile. Already logged in everywhere.
- Multi-provider. Claude, OpenAI Codex, MiniMax. Use the model you're already paying for.
- Multimodal. Send images, screenshots, diagrams. The agent sees them.
- Auto-update. Signed, notarized, one-click updates.
- Local-only. No cloud relay. Your data stays on your Mac.
Download the macOS app -- open the DMG, drag to Applications. Onboarding walks you through setup.
Requires: macOS + a Claude Code or OpenAI Codex subscription (or any API key: Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax).
git clone https://github.com/suitedaces/dorabot.git && cd dorabot
npm install && npm run build && npm linknpm run dev # gateway + desktop with HMR
dorabot -g # production gateway mode
dorabot -i # interactive terminal
dorabot -m "message" # one-off questionThe onboard skill interviews you and builds:
| File | What it does |
|---|---|
SOUL.md |
How the agent talks and thinks |

Who you are, your goals, context |

All files live in ~/.dorabot/workspace/. Edit directly or let the agent manage them.
Runtime: Local-only, no telemetry. Scoped file access (sensitive dirs blocked). Token-authenticated gateway. Configurable tool approval per channel. macOS native sandbox.
Supply chain: All dependencies are pinned to exact versions (no ^ or ~ ranges). New packages must be at least 7 days old before CI will accept them. Every PR and push runs:
npm auditacross all workspaces- Snyk deep vulnerability scan (
--all-projects) - Pin check (rejects any caret or tilde ranges)
- Package age check (rejects packages published less than 7 days ago)
.npmrc enforces save-exact=true so future installs pin automatically.
To run locally:
npm audit # known vulnerabilities
snyk test --all-projects --strict-out-of-sync=false # deep scan
node scripts/check-package-age.mjs --min-days=7 # package ageDo I need an API key?
If you have a Claude Code or OpenAI Codex subscription, you're good to go. Otherwise, any API key works (Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax). dorabot wraps your model, it doesn't include one.Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Runs on your Mac. Only network calls are to your AI provider's API.How is this different from Claude Code / Cursor?
Those are primarily coding tools. dorabot adds autonomous agent workflows (memory, goals, scheduling, messaging) and now also ships a full IDE-style desktop (editor, file explorer, git, terminal) in one app.Open an issue or PR on GitHub.
