What is The Agent Office?
The Agent Office sits at the top of your screen and shows what your coding agents are doing: who is working, who is waiting for you, and how much of your usage limit is left. Open the office and every chat becomes a colleague at a desk, grouped by project. Everything runs on your PC, with no account and no server of ours.
The island is called Octolantis, and Octo, a little octopus, lives in it and keeps you company.
Features
- Agents at a glance: working, waiting for you and idle sessions, newest first
- Questions and permission requests come to the top
- The office: each project is an office, each chat an agent at a desk, the manager at the head of the room
- Claude and Codex usage limits (5-hour and weekly), with reset times
- Click a session to open it in Claude or Codex
- Never answers a question or approves a permission for you
- Media controls with optional synced lyrics
- Notes and to-dos, focus timer and countdown
- Alarms, reminders and a water reminder
- A file shelf: gather files, then drag them into any app
- Weather and battery in the small island
- Glass or dark look, and a different resting look per place (desktop, apps, browser)
- Stays out of the way of full-screen apps, follows your monitor and DPI
- Optional start with Windows, quietly in the tray
- 11 languages
Supported tools

Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (already present on most PCs)
- Claude Code, Codex or Cursor for the agent features (the island's other pages work without them)
Uninstall
Remove The Agent Office from Windows' Installed apps. The uninstaller also removes The Agent Office's hooks from Claude Code and Cursor; your agents and their settings are otherwise untouched.
With the Store version, turn the connection off in Settings › Advanced before uninstalling.
Privacy
- No account, no analytics, no server of ours.
- Chat contents are not uploaded anywhere; The Agent Office reads only session events, titles and project names.
- Claude limits use your existing local Claude Code sign-in to ask Anthropic's usage service; the token is never stored, logged or sent elsewhere.
- Synced lyrics (LRCLIB) and weather (Open-Meteo) stay off until you turn them on.
Full policy: Privacy
Build from source
Requirements: Windows 10/11, Node.js 20+, Visual Studio C++ Build Tools. Rust can be installed inside the project folder with scripts/install-local-rust.ps1.
npm --prefix app ci
npm --prefix app run build # frontend, needed before the Rust build
powershell -File scripts/dev.ps1 -Action test # frontend tests, hook relay, Rust tests
powershell -File scripts/dev.ps1 -Action native # run the app
powershell -File scripts/dev.ps1 -Action bundle # build the installer
scripts/dev.ps1 keeps Rust, caches, build output and test data inside the project folder (.tools/, .artifacts/, .local-data/), so a development build never touches an installed copy.
