AgentOS
An open-source 'Open Agent Operation System' for running and managing agents, now shipping a native macOS app alongside its engine.
Overview
AgentOS (use-agent-os/agent-os), described by its maintainers as 'The Open Agent Operation System,' stores its configuration and data under ~/.agentos/, protected across upgrades. Release 2026.9.24, published September 24, 2026, is the first version to ship a native, signed and notarized AgentOS app for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) alongside the core engine, with sixty-five pull requests merged since the previous version. The macOS app starts the local gateway if one isn't already running, or adopts an existing gateway started from a terminal, and never starts a second one.
