One for each thing you run. Its own Chrome, already signed in. Its own folder. Its own small tools, still running. Nico sits in the other seat — it writes down what you say, reads the page in front of you, and puts the file where it belongs.
All of it on your Mac, under the Claude Code, Codex or Ollama you already have. We never touch a token, and there is nothing to sign into.
The gap
A coding agent that only ever writes code is a coding agent you are underusing.
The hard part was never asking for the tool. Claude Code will write a receipt parser in ninety seconds. The hard part is everything after: somewhere for it to live, somewhere for its output to accumulate, a way to run it again next month without rebuilding it.
So the parser gets written, run once in a terminal, and lost.
The subscription isn’t worth it to me just to run a few prompts in Claude Code once a week.Hacker News

Both of these people are right. The difference between them isn’t the model — it’s whether the work they asked for outlived the session it was asked in.
Spaces
One per business. Its own cookies, its own logins, its own downloads — started and stopped from the menu bar, and never mixed with the browser you read the news in. Sign into it once, the way you sign into anything, and it stays signed in: Nico closes Chrome the way Chrome wants to be closed, so the session survives the quit.
If you are not logged in, the agent cannot magically access your dashboard.

r/AI_Agents · somebody building this by handSpaces · on the ask
An ask carries the Space it was made in, for the whole of its life. A year later the row still says acme, so which browser did that is a question the card can answer rather than one you have to remember.
The tools you have switched on are named on the same line, and so is whose browser this is about to be. Nothing is granted by default, and nothing is granted to a Space you did not pick.
Spaces · the list
Making a Space is typing a name. It gets a Chrome of its own and a folder of its own, and the row tells you which of the five states it is in rather than a green dot that means four different things.
Closing one is a real close, not a kill — which is the difference between logging in once and logging in every morning.
Spaces · what Nico does in there
Not a plugin in your main browser, and not a browser in somebody’s cloud. Nico holds the connection to that Space’s Chrome: it reads the page, clicks, types, downloads into that Space’s folder, and reads and writes files there.
Nico never types a password, and never reads what is in a password box. Signing in is yours. The typing is refused in the code before the field is even focused, and the map Nico builds of a page carries what each control is — never what is in it. Measured against Chrome, on a filled password field, three ways of filling it.
One ask runs at a time, and a second waits its turn rather than fighting the first for the same window.
And what it does not fix: a page can carry instructions written at the model. Nico does not close that, and neither does anybody else.

The one job you will never hand to a cloud service, because it is your entire camera roll.
Never leaves the MacFour years of history, answerable, without granting anyone a workspace token.
Never leaves the MacRuns before you get up. Reads what you told it to read. Sends nothing outward.
Never leaves the MacThe cockpit
An app Nico wrote is a folder on your disk and a command that serves it. It shows in a pane on the card, so the tool and the thing you are doing are on the same screen — and two of them side by side when the job needs both.
Each has its own run line, its own Stop, and its own folder you can open in Finder. Nothing is deployed anywhere. No host to pay, no link to expire, no account to keep.
Ask again later and it is edited in place, with the last ten versions kept.
How it works
Turn on create app and say what you want. Nico hands the job to the Claude Code or
Codex you already have installed, on your own subscription. We charge you nothing for tokens
because we never touch them.
One folder per app, outside any session. A data folder that survives every run, so
what it collects accumulates instead of vanishing. Ten versions kept, so a bad edit is not a
disaster.
Start it from a list, in a window of its own — or beside another app in the cockpit, when the job needs both at once. Edit it later by asking again. Export it as a zip — without your data folder — when somebody wants the tool but not your numbers.
Whose model
Every other tool in this category ships one model and that is the one you get. Here the model is a choice you make per ask: Claude Code, Codex, or a model running on your own Mac through Ollama — and the picker says what each one costs you before you pick, including how much of this week’s limit you have already spent.
We never touch a token. Prompts go to the CLI already on your Mac, on the subscription you already bought. There is no key to paste and nothing is proxied through us.
A local model costs nothing to run and is the one to reach for when the thing you are asking about should not leave the machine at all.
What comes back
Each ask keeps its own question and its own answer on disk, in the session’s folder, in Markdown. Follow up on it and the earlier turns go with it, so the second question knows what the first one was.
Nothing is locked in a chat window that expires. If you stop paying us tomorrow, the folder is still there and still readable by anything.
Your data
Every app on this page works on files you would never hand to a SaaS: the camera roll, the mailbox, four years of Slack, the accounts. That is only reasonable because the whole thing runs where the files already are.
Where it started
Hold a key anywhere on the Mac and talk. Whisper turns it into text on your own machine and the words land on the clipboard, ready to paste into the email, the commit message, the prompt. The project has been called talk, don’t type since the first day, and that is still the whole of it.
It is also how you ask for everything above. You say what you want the app to do. You do not sit down and write a specification for it.
Open a longer one and it keeps going: what you say and what your Mac is playing both become text, with timestamps, in a file in a folder — and the asks you hang off it work on that text. The transcribing happens on this machine, which is the only reason the next paragraph can be true.
Build me something that reads the receipts folder every month and writes one spreadsheet my accountant can open
What it looks like while it works
The card is the whole surface: what has been transcribed so far, and under it the things you have asked for, each with its own state. One is thinking. One has answered. One repeats itself every thirty seconds until you tell it to stop.
It is a panel over your work, not an application you switch to.
Before you download it
Everything above is on this page because it works. Here is the rest of it, in the same voice, so that nothing on the list arrives as a surprise a week in.
Price
You are already paying $20, $100, maybe $200 a month for a coding agent. Nico does not resell it, mark it up, or proxy a single request through us. It runs the CLI sitting on your Mac, under the subscription you already bought.
What you are paying us for is the part nobody else builds: somewhere for those tools to live, a data folder that outlives the session, versions, exports, and an app that keeps working when the network is off.
Seven days, everything unlocked, no card asked for — and the clock starts the first time you actually use it, not at the download, so leaving it a fortnight costs you nothing. Build something on your own files and see whether you still want it running a week later. If you do not, you keep what it made and we never had your card number.
The trial needs no card. Cancel whenever. Your apps and their data are folders on your Mac — they stay yours either way.
If something goes wrong
The questions people arrive with — a lost licence key, a licence that says expired, the permission macOS will not offer twice — are answered on the support page. That page is on this website and loads nothing from anywhere else.
Longer write-ups are in the help centre, which is hosted elsewhere. Following that link takes you off this site; nothing of theirs loads here until you press it.
One person reads that, and he replies. What you expected, what happened instead, and roughly when is plenty — there is no form and no ticket number.
Replying to your licence email reaches the same place and arrives with your purchase already attached.
