cindy
by makecindy
Cindy is an AI agent app for desktop and mobile that runs on your own machine and works with your real files and logged-in apps. It combines coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex with a choice of models so it can carry out tasks, run scheduled work and take requests from messaging apps.

Make money with it
A freelancer could use it to deliver coding, research or automation work faster and take on more client projects.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Automate recurring admin and reporting tasks by scheduling them instead of paying for extra staff time
- Connect internal tools through MCP so one agent handles coding, research and routine operations
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download the desktop or mobile app from cindy.app; building from source needs Node.js 22, pnpm 10 and Git LFS, and Linux has its own installation guide.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Only the client is open source; the backend service is closed and in a separate repository
- Connects to Cindy's hosted cloud by default, and some features need a Cindy account with paid usage
- Needs your own Claude Code or Codex plan, API keys or local models to use other providers
- Agent has access to your real files, browser and logged-in apps, so permissions need care
