Ziggy — your desktop, running a whole life

An always-on personal agent that lives right on your desktop.


Ziggy is one portal to your whole life, living on your desktop: your day, your money, your health, your family — plus a real voice, switchable personas, and a focus coach built for how your brain actually works. Private, local, yours.

What Ziggy does

  • 🖥️ Lives on your desktop — a glowing, animated presence with your clock, weather, focus-for-right-now, schedule, and what needs attention, painted on your wallpaper behind your windows.
  • 🌐 One portal to everything — a single home screen instead of ten scattered tabs and apps.
  • 🎙️ A real voice + personas — Ziggy speaks, and shifts modes on command: 🤙 Friend · 🧘 Therapist · 📊 Advisor · 🎯 Focus Coach · 🔥 Hype.
  • 🔐 Secure vault, no Terminal — hand him a key by double-clicking a Desktop app or dropping a file in a folder; it's filed to a private local vault and the file is shredded.
  • 🧠 Focus, built in — one task, one timer, gentle re-focus nudges. Made with ADHD in mind.
  • 🤝 Portable & social — documented as a portable blueprint, with open agent-to-agent (A2A) interop on the roadmap so agents can talk to each other.

How it works

An always-on Mac runs the show and heals itself. A live desktop layer renders Ziggy; a browser "home" page opens at login as your command center. A tiny, swappable voice module gives him a voice (free out of the box, studio-quality with a key). Secrets live only on your machine. Everything is written down as a portable spec so it can be rebuilt or moved anywhere.

🔒 Private by design

Your personal data — money, calendar, messages — stays local on your own machine. Nothing about your life is uploaded or shared. Ziggy is your assistant, not a service that watches you.

Roadmap

  • Free + premium voice engines (reggae/custom voices, on-the-fly switching)
  • Summonable, talking avatar you bring up and chat with
  • Two-way voice (speak → listen → reply)
  • Multi-user family profiles (age-appropriate, per-person learning styles)
  • Agent-to-agent link with companion agents
  • One-click setup for anyone
