idleoss

Your idle AI, working for open source

Part of your AI subscription goes unused every week. idleoss spends it on small tasks that open source maintainers chose themselves, so the work gets merged instead of closed.

Get started How it works

Runs on the AI you already pay for

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • ChatGPT
  • GrokSoon

How it works

  1. A project asks for help

    The people who run it label the issues they want fixed.

  2. idleoss hands out a task

    Each one goes to a single person's AI, never two at once.

  3. Your AI works

    On your computer, checked by the project's own tests.

  4. A human decides

    A small pull request, marked as AI-made, waits for review.

What it respects

Questions

I'm not a dev. Will this work for me?

Yes. There's no code to write or read. You install one app and sign in to the AI you already use. Your AI does the work, and it explains each task in your own language before it starts.

What if something goes wrong?

Nothing is sent without your OK until you choose to let it run alone. If a change is wrong, the maintainer closes it and idleoss stops on that project. Your files and accounts are never touched.

Will this spam maintainers?

No. Only projects that opted in, one change at a time per project, and it stops after a close.

Does it cost extra?

It uses the subscription you already have, and only spare capacity. Near your limit, it waits.

Is this allowed by my AI provider?

idleoss starts the official Claude Code or Codex you already signed in to, on your machine, the way you would. It never touches your login. Read your plan's terms too.

What if my laptop sleeps?

Nothing runs. idleoss picks up when your computer is awake.

Lend your AI

Open source runs the internet, and a few tired people keep most of it alive. Your AI is idle and already paid for. Point it at something real. Not an engineer? You belong here too. Outside eyes change how a project sees itself, and passion counts for more than a degree.

I'm a dev

Your Claude Code or Codex fixes labeled issues. You review the pull requests, or let it run.

I'm not a dev

Same thing, no code. Your AI does the work and explains it in your own language.
