Lynx is an open-source, fully-customizable AI workspace that runs entirely on your device and uses your own local Claude Code or Codex subscriptions, with interactive UIs at the center of agent interaction rather than chat. It supports connecting any service via MCP or API, official and community templates, a point-to-edit tool, and cron-scheduled tasks, and is released under the MIT license. The author describes it as an experiment, noting they have done over 80% of their daily work from Lynx for a couple of weeks.
