OpenMinis is a mobile AI agent app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and Android. It connects chat models such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini to a sandboxed Alpine Linux environment running on the device, so the agent can install packages, run scripts, and work with real files, alongside browser automation, device integrations, skills, and persistent memory.
Device features are exposed to the agent as tools: Health, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, HomeKit, Bluetooth, Clipboard, Media, Alarms, and more. Work is organized into separate workspaces, and heavy or platform-specific tasks are handed off to native code rather than the sandbox. On iOS the sandbox uses iSH, and on Android it uses PRoot.
Skills are folders with a SKILL.md file that the agent loads on demand. Skills written for Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, or Hermes Agent generally run unchanged, and skills adapted to OpenMinis can call the shell, device integrations, and native offloads directly. Example uses include logging a photographed meal's nutrition to Apple Health, turning Telegram group messages into Apple Reminders tasks, editing an Obsidian vault as a workspace, and creating calendar events from the iOS Share Sheet.
