Rubato - a palm-sized retro-Macintosh AI desk companion that turns AI wait time into gentle health breaks. Firmware, tools and docs.

Project Overview项目介绍

Rubato is a palm-sized retro-Macintosh style desktop companion built around an ESP8266 NodeMCU and a 240×240 color TFT display, redesigned from the original Misaka 2021 clock and released under GPL-3.0. Its core capability is health micro-break enforcement for programmers and heavy AI users: a PC-side plugin publishes the user's AI session state — thinking, generating, done — over TLS MQTT, and the device mirrors it with a cream breathing orb, a glacier-blue pulse, and a green calm glow, escalating into a full-screen micro-break reminder whenever a task is estimated to last 30 seconds or more. The product is not a DeepSeek Harness exclusive; rather, it ships a portable MQTT contract that already covers DeepSeek Harness, OpenClaw, Cursor, and OpenCode, with Codex and Claude Code listed as planned targets, and the firmware additionally doubles as a standalone NTP desk clock with Open-Meteo weather, browser-based brightness/orientation/°C-°F settings, and HTTPS segmented OTA updates that recover from bad images via a Safe Mode self-heal without USB.

Typical usage starts at the official Tindie store, where the assembled device is sold as "Rubato, Retro Mac AI Desk Companion"; once powered over USB Type-C the user joins the ESP8266's built-in hotspot to push WiFi credentials, then issues a single serial command to pair the unit with a TLS-capable MQTT broker and a per-device credential set published through the matching Rubato_Plugins companion. After that, installing the agent-specific plugin (DSH, OpenClaw, Cursor, OpenCode, …) makes session telemetry flow automatically, while the on-device menu handles routine preferences; the targeted audience is desk-bound developers coping with dry eyes, stiff necks, dehydration, and stagnant circulation who want a quiet daily cadence of water, bathroom, eye, neck, kegel, and standing reminders separated by at least 30 minutes between full-screen nudges, framed as gentle companionship rather than a strict habit-tracker.

Dependencies are intentionally lightweight: the Arduino framework with ESP8266 core 3.1.2 and the TFT_eSPI graphics library, with the main firmware in rubato.ino and the health-icon pipeline in tools/; MQTT requires a TLS-supporting broker, Open-Meteo requires outbound internet, and OTA pulls new images over segmented HTTPS with an anti-brick Safe Mode fallback. Hardware schematics are derived from chuxin520922's SmallDesktopDisplay, all settings survive power loss, and first-run users should generate unique MQTT credentials per device, confirm broker TLS support, and review changelog.md before flashing.

Rubato 是基于 ESP8266 与 240×240 TFT 屏幕的掌中复古 Macintosh 桌面硬件伴侣,主任务是为长时间使用 AI 编码工具的程序员提醒微休息。它通过一个 PC 端插件把 AI 编码会话状态("思考"、"生成"、"完成")以加密 MQTT 推送给设备,设备再以奶油色呼吸球、冰川蓝与完成绿色做出镜面反馈;当任务预估超过 30 秒时,会自动转入全屏休息提醒。它并不属于 DeepSeek Harness 专属插件,而是为 DSH、OpenClaw、Cursor、OpenCode(Codex、Claude Code 计划中)等多个 Agent 提供同一套 MQTT 契约的对应插件,同时也支持桌面时钟、NTP 校时、Open-Meteo 天气与基于浏览器的设置等独立功能。

典型使用流程是:先在 Tindie 购买 Rubato 硬件,插入 USB Type-C 上电;通过内置热点配网 WiFi,再用一条串口命令将其与 MQTT Broker 配对;接着在电脑上按对应 Agent 安装 Rubato_Plugins 仓库里的插件并填入每台设备的 MQTT 凭据,会话状态便会自动推送。它的目标用户是长期伏案、眼睛干涩、颈椎僵硬的开发者与重度 AI 用户,提供喝水、如厕、眼休、颈拉伸、凯格尔、站立六类日常提醒,两次全屏休息至少间隔 30 分钟,定位为静默而温和的陪伴,而非任务打卡工具。

依赖方面,固件基于 Arduino ESP8266 core 3.1.2 与 TFT_eSPI,源码见 rubato.ino,健康图标流水线在 tools/ 下;OTA 自更新采用分段 HTTPS 下载并具备防变砖的 Safe Mode 自愈机制,无需 USB 重刷。许可证为 GPL-3.0,原始时钟来自 Misaka 2021,硬件设计源自 chuxin520922 的 SmallDesktopDisplay,所有设置掉电保持。首次使用请先确认 Broker 支持 TLS,再为每台设备生成独立凭据以避免状态串扰。

Rubato

When AI thinks, you move.

中文说明 | English

Rubato

Rubato in action

Rubato is a palm-sized retro-Macintosh screen (ESP8266, 240×240 color display) built for one job: looking after the bodies of programmers and heavy AI users. Long sessions keep you pinned to the chair — dry eyes, a stiff neck, an aching back. Rubato watches your AI coding sessions and turns long waits into real, gentle breaks — water, eye rest, a stretch — on time, every day. The rest of the time it just sits quietly on your desk, never in your way.

Get one

Official store: Tindie — Rubato, Retro Mac AI Desk Companion

How it works

  1. A small PC plugin publishes your AI session state over MQTT (TLS): thinking → generating → done
  2. A breathing orb mirrors the state — cream while thinking, glacier blue while generating, green when done
  3. When a task looks long (est. ≥ 30 s), Rubato eases into a full-screen micro-break reminder

Six daily breaks

Water · Bathroom break · Eye rest · Neck stretch · Kegels · Standing desk

The six targets are what sitting all day actually costs: dehydration, eye strain, a stiff neck, stagnant circulation. Each activity has a daily quota, and two full-screen breaks stay at least 30 minutes apart. The design is quiet and natural — soft colors, slow rhythm, one gentle nudge at a time — so every break feels light and pleasant, never like an interruption. The promise is reminders delivered, not completion-rate check-ins.

More than reminders

  • Desk clock — NTP time, western date format, weather with auto-location (Open-Meteo)
  • State orb — per-device MQTT credentials; Rubato mirrors the session state, never the message text
  • OTA self-update — segmented HTTPS download with an anti-brick guard: a bad update lands in Safe Mode and self-heals remotely, no USB needed
  • Web settings — brightness, orientation, °C/°F from your browser; everything survives power loss
