BMO ♥

A cute GameBoy friend that lives on your desktop.

Say hi and BMO talks back - it's a real AI friend that remembers you, chats with you, runs commands, and even speaks up on its own once in a while.

"Hello! I'm BMO, your GameBoy friend!"

Why BMO is great

• 🧠 A real AI friend - BMO talks through opencode, so it can answer anything and even use tools. Free, no API keys (just sign in to a free provider once: opencode providers)
• 💭 Remembers you - your name and what you tell it (~/.local/share/bmo/chat.json)
• 💬 Talks up spontaneously sometimes, asking about things you've mentioned
• 🧼 Just the essentials - a clean GameBoy chat window + the brain, no bloat

Using BMO

• Just type anything and BMO chats with you ♥
• BMO remembers your name and what you tell it
• The blue _ button minimizes, the red X closes, F11 toggles fullscreen

First chat? Make sure opencode is installed and you've signed in to a provider (opencode providers). BMO connects to its opencode "brain" on chatter away - no local model to download.

For maintainers

• install.sh - the curl installer
• package.json + cli.js - the npm/bun package
• Formula/bmo.rb - Homebrew formula
• scripts/release.sh + .circleci/config.yml - release checksums + CI (free open-source CircleCI, replaces GitHub Actions)
