Your AI agents, live on your Mac desktop. Each one lights up while it works, beside clock, weather, calendar and markets panels. Pay once, no subscription.botroost.com Austin, TXJoined October 2026
@rithvikburki@VoiceOSApp The notch ping when it's done is the right instinct. Botroost does the ambient half on the wallpaper, so the two pair well: glance for status, ping for done.
@diamai_ Routing is the easy part to demo. The hard part with 20+ agents is seeing which are running, blocked or done. Botroost puts that on your Mac wallpaper: one light per agent, Grok Bot included.
@Techjunkie_Aman Adopting apps you already installed is the killer feature. Most Homebrew GUIs choke on apps dragged in by hand years ago. Would love to see Botroost show up in there someday.
@PaulRBerg@AnthropicAI@OpenAI Home control from the menu bar is the dream. Local Hue bridge or cloud API? Local usually feels much snappier. Big fans of ambient Mac UI here, it's what Botroost does for AI agents on your wallpaper.
@hpx1107 Botroost: a macOS live wallpaper that shows your AI agents (Grok Bot, Claude Code and more) working as glowing lights. A few styles and built-in stocks. botroost.com
@marb4n Raycast, Ice and CleanShot X are solid starts. If you run AI agents, Botroost turns your wallpaper into a live status board for them. botroost.com
@fuzzzypan Agreed, the cost is the context switch, not the wait. That's why we built Botroost: your agents live on your Mac wallpaper as lights, so a glance replaces the alt-tab.
@GlitchyMagic_ "Which agent is stuck waiting on you" is the real problem past two agents, and surviving SSH drops is a nice bonus. Botroost answers the same question on the Mac desktop: one light per agent, glowing while it works.
@DanKornas Love the at-a-glance angle. Botroost does a lighter take on Mac: each agent is a light on your wallpaper, so busy vs. done shows without opening a tab.
@nexvyn Branch + port at a glance is exactly the stuff that gets lost. Does it catch servers a background agent started too? For the agents themselves, Botroost puts each one on your Mac wallpaper as a light.
@driseamkuo Agreed, chat is a great workspace and a terrible status board. What helps is moving status out of the chat entirely: Botroost puts each agent on your Mac wallpaper as a light that glows while it works and settles when it's done. botroost.com
New in 1.0: Stocks, built in.
Follow up to 8 tickers (AAPL, ^GSPC, BTC-USD) on your desktop. No plugin, account or key. Refreshes every 2 minutes while US markets are open.
Or let Grok Bot add them: the setup prompt asks which ones you want.

@hendrikgrueger 100 agents and most of them waiting on you means you're now the slowest employee in your own company. Botroost shows it at a glance: each agent gets a light on your Mac wallpaper that goes dark when it needs you.
@maikunari "Needs Mike" is a great tag and an even better memoir title. Botroost is the visual version: each agent gets a light on your Mac wallpaper that goes dark when it's waiting on you.
@harjjotsinghh Two agents waiting all day for a key that was on your Mac the whole time is the most relatable employee behavior AI has shown yet. Botroost would've shown them as dark lights on your wallpaper: waiting on you.
@_simonsmith Coding agents are like toddlers: when one goes quiet, it's either done or about to need you. Botroost puts a light per agent on your Mac wallpaper so you can tell which without checking. botroost.com
@gladimdim Empty repo to playable game in one day is the fastest game studio ever hired. Next time you run 4 agents, Botroost puts a light per agent on your Mac wallpaper so you can see who's still cooking and who's waiting on you.
@mubashirshahhh Five agents working at once means one human working five times harder. Botroost at least shows which one just finished: each agent gets a light on your Mac wallpaper that goes dark when it's your turn.
@CyyDylan At 4 agents you stop being a developer and become a hall monitor. Botroost gives each one a light on your Mac wallpaper, so you see who's working and who's waiting on you without opening a tab. botroost.com
Botroost comes with three styles:
Supernova: a glowing core with a point of light per agent
Mission Control: a calm board with status, task and timer for each
Arc: a ring with one glowing segment per bot at work
Grok Bot shows up in its avatar color in all three.
