Thanks to you r/LocalLLaMA, my mom was able to use my app! The open-source app that can watch your screen and trigger actions. It is now easy to use, thanks to your feedback.
A solo developer, Roy, released v3.0.0 of his open-source app, "Observer," which allows local LLMs to monitor screens and trigger actions. After a year of development, and incorporating feedback from the r/LocalLLaMA community, the app is now user-friendly enough for his mother to use. Roy expressed gratitude to the community for their contributions, which made the app accessible.

TL;DR: I'm a solo dev who wanted a simple, private way to have local LLMs watch my screen and do simple logging/notifying. After a year of building, I released v3.0.0 and my mom was able to use it for the first time and I wanted to say thank you!
Hey r/LocalLLaMA ,
What is it used for?
It is designed to monitor anything, some use cases:
- When my Simulation crashes, call me.
- When Concert tickets become available, click the buy button.
- When my Steam game is downloaded, send me a Telegram.
- When a Render is finished, send me an SMS.
- When ... [Anything happens] Then ... [Notify me, log it]
How It Works
It's a micro-agent framework controlled by an MCP (Agent which I call Observer). So you type in Observer what you want monitored, and it'll control the framework to monitor it.
The desktop app uses llama.cpp as an inference engine, the webapp uses transformers.js, and they both support your v1/chat/completions endpoints :DD
You can try it out in your browser with zero setup!... running gemma-4-e2b ONNX in the browser, crazy stuff! Thanks to Xenova/HuggingFace for transformers.js c:
It passed the mom benchmark lol!
You guys told me that the framework was cool, but it was very manual to setup agents/workflows. So I've spent the last year slowly making it more accessible so anyone from any technical background can use it.
Every couple of months I ask my mom to use the App. And for the first time she actually was able to setup a monitoring agent with a local LLM! Which makes me think the app is ready for general public adoption (wuuuu!).
I hope this makes local LLMs useful for everyone! Tutorial/Demo Which is the whole point of the project.
My Commitment and being FOSS
The core Observer AI platform is, and will always be, free and open-source. That's non-negotiable. The code is all on GitHub for you to use, fork, and inspect.
The line in the sand which I have is "if it's free for me, it should be free for the user", that won't change ever.
Let's Stop Wasting Time!
This project wouldn't exist without the inspiration I've drawn from this community. You are the people I'm building this for.
