The AI sidekick for vibe coders. Lives in your macOS menu bar.
Website: vibalos.moinsen.dev Buy: €9.99 one-time, lifetime, one Mac — Lemonsqueezy
The community front-door for Vibalos. Use it for:
- 🐛 Bug reports — something broken? Tell me.
- 💡 Feature requests — what should Vibalos learn next?
- 💬 Discussions — questions, ideas, conversations.
- 📜 Prompt catalog — the 32 polish presets Vibalos ships with live here as YAML files. Anyone can submit a new preset via PR — see
prompts/CONTRIBUTING.md. Every preset passes an automated eval before merging.
I read every issue. Solo developer, no support team — but I'm responsive.
The source code lives in a separate, private repository. Vibalos is not currently open source.
I'd love it to be — but realistically, with AI coding assistants flooding maintainers with low-quality pull requests right now, I'm not ready to take that on while I'm still shaping the product. I'd rather spend my time shipping features than triaging PRs.
If that changes, you'll know — this README will be the first place I update. In the meantime, feature requests and bug reports here are the way to influence the roadmap.
Vibalos is one of my daily-driver tools. I use it every single day, all day, while coding with Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Every annoyance I hit, I fix. Every workflow gap I notice, I close. You're not buying a snapshot — you're buying the trajectory.
Loose, honest roadmap (will evolve based on what hurts most):
- ✅ Community-curated prompt catalog (prompts/) — done; 32 presets, eval-gated PRs welcome
- Smarter Claude Code integration (live session awareness, auto-context injection)
- Voice-to-prompt
- Multi-Mac license tier
- Whatever the issue tracker yells loudest about
Lifetime license, one Mac, no subscriptions, no telemetry, no cloud. €9.99 once, forever.
- 100% local. Your text, prompts, and screenshots never leave your Mac. Vibalos talks to Ollama (locally) or Apple Foundation Models (on-device).
- No telemetry. Nothing tracked, nothing reported.
- Offline license verification. Your license is an Ed25519-signed JSON blob. Vibalos verifies it without phoning home.
- Signed auto-updates via Sparkle with EdDSA signatures — same signing scheme as the license.
- Swift + SwiftUI on macOS 26+
- Local AI: Ollama or Apple Foundation Models
- Auto-update: Sparkle (EdDSA-signed)
- Licensing: Cloudflare Worker + Ed25519 signatures + Lemonsqueezy webhooks
- Email delivery: Resend
