Show HN: Wolffish – An OS personal desktop AI agent

3 points - today at 11:32 AM


Heya everyone

I'm Younes, and I've been building Wolffish for a while now. I want to tell you why...

I love AI. I use it every single day. But every AI agent I tried left me disappointed. Either, it's a CLI tool that is a black box not even the creators understand, or it is a server running with exposed ports inviting all the malice of the internet, or it breaks after every update, or it takes 30 minutes just to set up before you can even say hello, or the worst one yet, you need a course and certificate to begin using the darn thing ...

I just wanted something simple. Something I install, open, and it works. Something my dear grandma could use. Something that actually does real work on my computer — not just generates text I copy-paste somewhere else. Something I could hand over the keys to my private digital setup with peace of mind.

So I built Wolffish. It's a desktop app. You install it and it works out of the box. No server. No setup templates. No bullshit. No broken updates. It's secure — your data stays on your machine. PERIOD! It's private — your data is not saved on some dude's server. It's easy to use, easy to extend, and easy to understand.

It works with DeepSeek, GLM, Claude, GPT, and even runs fully offline with local models. It's free. It's open source. And I use it every single day.

Wolffish is built for a future where open-weights models are frontier-level in intelligence — you download them, run them, and own them. Your digital agent works for you and belongs to you.

Congrats on shipping, will check later.

(My laptop fan went into overdrive. Please consider removing the effects or having a lighter version).

Edit: the anthropomorphization is so weird ("brain", "soul" etc). If the feedback logs live in "basalganglia", why not call it "feedbacklogs"? Why "hippocampus" instead of "memory"? IMHO it just makes it harder to find things.

Interesting assumption about a future with frontier-level open-weight models. Do you see Wolffish primarily as an agent framework, or as a "personal operating system" for AI workflows?
