This year Muse, Grok Bot and Dots showed what a personal agent with its own computer can do. They're impressive — and they run on someone else's servers, with your conversations, your logins and, when they shop for you, your card.

I wanted the same thing on my own machine. So I built Xiryn and open-sourced it under MIT.

Its own computer, not yours

Every agent gets its own Linux desktop in a Docker container: Xvfb draws the screen, a real Chromium runs on it, and x11vnc with noVNC lets you watch. The agent clicks and types there — it never moves your mouse, takes over your screen or reads your files. You keep coding, or watch a film, while it works.

When it reaches a login, a one-time code or a CAPTCHA, it stops and hands you its screen. Take over, fix it, hand it back with a note, and it carries on from where you left it.

Private by design

  • No account, no telemetry. Chats, memory, settings and keys live in one SQLite file on your disk.
  • An encrypted vault for logins and cards: AES-256-GCM, with the key held by your OS (Keychain, DPAPI or the Secret Service).
  • The agent never sees your card. It gets "Visa ···· 4242"; Xiryn types the value into the page itself.
  • Every payment waits for your yes, in the app or with one tap on Telegram.

Control it from anywhere

Pair Telegram by scanning a QR code. Xiryn long-polls from your machine, so there's no public URL or port forwarding. Your agents send live progress, approvals arrive as buttons, and a hand-off link opens the agent's desktop on your phone.

Any model

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible API — a model per agent. With a local model, not even your prompts leave your computer.

Set it up in one command 

# macOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SouravBeraAkaSpeed/xiryn/main/setup.sh | bash 
# Windows irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SouravBeraAkaSpeed/xiryn/main/setup.ps1 | iex

It installs Git, Node.js and Docker if they're missing, builds the agents' desktop image and starts Xiryn at http://127.0.0.1:6796. Or paste one prompt into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and let it do the setup.

Try it

I'd love to hear what you'd hand to your own agent first.
