Claude Code, Codex and OpenClaw, together

All your agents,
one chat app.

By herval · Published November 1, 2026

Claude Code in one terminal, Codex in another, OpenClaw on a home server and a browser tab for its dashboard: that's a lot of windows to check. This guide covers the Mac apps that put all three in one place, the way a messaging app puts all your friends in one list.

Is there one Mac app where I can chat with Claude Code, Codex and OpenClaw, like a messaging app?

Yes. littleguys is built for exactly that: a free, open-source Mac app where your OpenClaw agents, Claude Code sessions, Codex, Hermes and any ACP agent are contacts in one WhatsApp-style window, and a little guy in the menu bar shows who needs you. Two other apps cover all three: Agent Hub, a chat window that can also run the agents on servers over SSH, and Aight, an iPhone app that runs on Apple silicon Macs as its iPad app. AionUi runs them too, inside a much bigger workspace with an agent of its own.

The apps

1. littleguys

   A WhatsApp-style chat app: each OpenClaw agent, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes profile and ACP agent is a contact with its own threads, and the guy in the menu bar shows who's working and who needs you.

   Pick it if you want all three in one small window, with the Claude Code sessions already running in your terminals in it too, and commands to approve as they come up.

2. Agent Hub by Potarix

   A chat window over the Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and OpenClaw CLIs, run on this Mac or over SSH on any host you can reach, with a terminal per host. It starts its own session for each thread, and approvals work for Claude Code on this Mac only.

   Pick it if your agents live on servers you reach over SSH, and you want a terminal per host beside the chats.

3. Aight by Pangea Roads

   An iPhone app for OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code and Codex, with group chats where agents hand off by @mention and voice. Claude Code and Codex connect through its plugin and a cloud relay, so only sessions started through the plugin show up.

   Pick it if you mostly talk to your agents from your iPhone, and want group chats where they hand work to each other.

4. AionUi by iOfficeAI

   A full desktop workspace ("Cowork") with an agent of its own that works with any API key, which also runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, Gemini CLI and 20+ more CLI agents over ACP. It starts its own session for each chat.

   Pick it if you want a big workspace rather than a chat app: built-in assistants for slides and documents, agent teams, and access from a browser or Telegram, on Mac, Windows or Linux.

Checked on October 30, 2026 against each app's own site, docs and releases (AionUi on October 19). The comparison has more of them side by side, with what each does on other machines, telemetry and download size.

How each agent shows up in littleguys

• OpenClaw: littleguys reads the ~/.openclaw you already have, so your agents are there when you open it. Gateways on other machines are a click and one approval away. More on OpenClaw.
• Claude Code: Add a bot → Claude Code installs a small littleguys plugin (hooks only), and every session on this Mac, in a terminal or in the background, becomes a thread you follow live and reply to. More on Claude Code.
• Codex: Add a bot → Agents (ACP), pick Codex and a folder. littleguys starts Codex itself over the Agent Client Protocol, with the login you already have; it needs Node.js. More on ACP agents.
• All of them: streaming replies and tool calls, commands to allow once, always allow or deny (for Claude Code, in background sessions), routines on a schedule, and a notification that opens the thread when one needs you.

What littleguys doesn't do

• It doesn't show a Codex session you started in a terminal: littleguys starts its own Codex process. Claude Code is the one it follows wherever it runs.
• No group chats: each agent has its own threads, and agents don't talk to each other through littleguys.
• It's a Mac app only, and it doesn't track quota, usage or cost.
• Routines for Claude Code and Codex run only while littleguys is open; OpenClaw's run on its own scheduler, whether littleguys is open or not.
