littleguys for Windows
Your agents,
on your PC.
By herval · Published
littleguys is a free, open-source app for talking to your AI agents the way you talk to friends on WhatsApp, and since version 0.2.2 it runs on Windows 10 and 11. Your Claude Code sessions, Codex, Gemini CLI, and your OpenClaw and Hermes agents are contacts with their own chats: you reply, approve their commands and put them on a schedule from one small window, and the little guy by the taskbar clock shows who's working and who needs you. It's a 7 MB download.
Is there a Claude Code GUI for Windows?
Yes. Anthropic's own Claude desktop app runs Claude Code on Windows without a terminal. littleguys is a different kind of app: a chat list that follows every Claude Code session on your PC, the ones in a terminal too, and turns background sessions' permission prompts into cards you answer in one click. Codex and Gemini CLI sit in the same window. How it works with Claude Code and Codex.
Is there an OpenClaw or Hermes app for Windows?
A few. OpenClaw has its own Windows companion, and ClawControl is a desktop and phone client for it. Nous Research's Hermes Desktop is a full workspace for Hermes Agent on Windows too. littleguys is the small one that holds both: every agent on every OpenClaw gateway it finds on your tailnet or LAN, and your Hermes profiles, each a contact, next to your coding agents. More in OpenClaw, Hermes and the comparison.

What's different from the Mac
- The guy lives by the clock, in the taskbar's notification area. If Windows tucks him under the ^ arrow, drag him out next to it. Click him for the quick view;
Ctrl+Shift+Lopens littleguys from anywhere. - The installer isn't code-signed yet, so the first time, Windows says it protected your PC: click More info, then Run anyway. It installs for you alone, with no admin rights needed.
- It keeps itself up to date, like on the Mac: it downloads a new version in the background and installs it once its windows are closed and no agent is working.
- Everything else is the same app, from the same code: the chats, the approvals and the routines.
What it doesn't do
- There's no Arm build yet: the installer is for x64 PCs.
- There's no Linux version.
- Windows support is new. If something doesn't work on your PC, open an issue.
