The full story
Rubato is a palm-sized desk device styled like a classic Macintosh, built on an ESP8266 with a 240×240 screen. It shows your AI coding agents' status in real time with a "breathing" bubble and uses the waiting time for gentle health prompts, such as reminders to drink water. Firmware, tools and docs are open.
