About This Software

Crush your workload

A control room for AI-assisted development

bossMAN is a desktop workflow tool for Windows x64 and Apple Silicon Macs. Use ChatGPT through Codex, Claude or compatible local models to plan, build and manage your game-dev and software projects.

For game developers, bossMAN can help keep game projects, tooling repos, build notes, implementation plans, and review passes from turning into scattered one-off chat sessions.

Why bossMAN?

  • Highly customizable UI for your AI-assisted projects to increase efficiency and tune aesthetics.

  • Assign avatars and voicepack audio playback to your projects' activity to enhance multitasking and identity.

  • Tracker system used to streamline and simplify longterm development of a project itemizing both scoped work and bugs items

  • Tracker workflows help agents plan and work through selected tasks using your project settings. Permissions and approval behavior depend on the selected backend and configuration.

  • Manage local game-dev and software projects locally and via SSH.

Included runtimes and AI access

The Steam purchase includes the bossMAN desktop application, Codex and Claude runtimes, and local inference runtimes. You do not need to install Codex CLI or Claude Code separately to use those backends on this computer.

You can open bossMAN and use built-in Help without a ChatGPT or Claude subscription. Hosted AI requires internet access and your own eligible ChatGPT or Claude subscription. Connect an existing account through the selected provider's sign-in flow. Subscriptions are obtained separately outside bossMAN; the Steam purchase includes no provider subscription or AI usage credits. Provider terms, availability and usage limits apply.

Local AI requires a compatible model file and suitable hardware. Local chat-model files are not included, and model licenses, memory and storage requirements vary. A hosted AI subscription is not required for local AI. Allow extra storage for models, projects and development tools. Downloads and connected tools may require internet access.

Hosted sign-in uses the selected provider's authentication flow. bossMAN and its backend runtimes may retain sign-in state according to their configuration. SSH connections may request a remote account password or key passphrase; remote projects use the selected host's accounts.

AI output and automation notice

bossMAN can display, organize, summarize and help apply AI-generated development output using ChatGPT through Codex, Claude or compatible local models. Dialog Voice can synthesize spoken replies.

AI-generated plans, summaries, code, commands, reviews, and project recommendations may be incomplete, incorrect, unsafe, unsuitable for your project, or incompatible with your licenses and obligations. Review all AI-generated output before using, applying, committing, shipping, or publishing it.

Agents can modify files and run commands. Access and approval behavior depends on the backend, platform and selected settings; some actions can proceed without another prompt. On the computer running Claude, its shell commands use Claude's sandbox on macOS; on Windows they run in PowerShell with the Windows account's access and no command sandbox. Content safeguards depend on the selected provider or user-configured local model. bossMAN supports configurable guidance to help direct agent behavior.

Do not grant bossMAN, Codex, or any connected AI backend access to projects, systems, credentials, or repositories unless you are authorized to do so and understand the risks of AI-assisted automation.
