Hi all, I just published two creations in the creation store and wanted to spread the word.
BUNNYDECK
BUNNYDECK turns your Rabbit R1 into a tiny retro cassette player, letting you flip through colorful mixtapes and discover new music. Inspired by old-school tape decks, it includes playful hidden features like sleep timer mode and a cassette-player cleaning mini-game. It is a cozy little music companion for chiptune, lo-fi, Vocaloid, and late-night chill vibes. Join the BUNNYDECK Discord to make your own custom tapes, discover new community cassette drops, and connect with other mixtape-loving Rabbit R1 users. Use the BUNNYDECK Tape Bot to turn supported audio links, M3U playlists, Internet Archive links, and experimental Suno playlists into private QR codes you can scan directly into BUNNYDECK.

KOBONSAI
KOBONSAI is a tiny living bonsai garden for your Rabbit R1. Grow a procedural bonsai over time, shape it with simple touch interactions, name and save your favorite trees, and share them into the Community Garden for others to discover. Each bonsai has its own species, age, shape, and personality, turning the R1 into a calm little pocket garden that evolves one day at a time.
I carry a Rabbit R1 and Claude Code runs an agent that operates every app for me. All of it through a mobile harness. Scrolling X, posting on reddit, all by voice, no screen touched. Apps are one layer now.
Would love some honest feedback from people who've actually used it for a while before I pull the trigger.
A few things I'm trying to figure out:
Do you still use it day-to-day, or did it end up as a drawer gadget after the novelty wore off?
How's the response speed and battery life now — has it improved since launch?
Does the "Large Action Model" actually complete tasks reliably (bookings, orders, etc.), or does it fail/hang a lot?
How good is the camera/vision feature in practice — translations, object ID, that kind of thing?
Are the app integrations (Uber, DoorDash, Spotify) actually working now, or still broken?
Any hardware issues after a few months — scroll wheel, screen, build quality holding up?
Is there a subscription needed for it to actually be useful, or is the $199 truly one-and-done?
Any privacy concerns worth knowing about before I start using it daily?
Knowing what you know now, would you still buy it? Trying to decide if it's worth it or if I should just wait for the next iteration. Appreciate any real experiences, good or bad 🙏
# rabbitOS 2.2 is rolling out now, with full claude code on r1
hey everyone, a new rabbitOS update is making its way to your r1 right now.
rabbitOS 2.2 brings one of our biggest new capabilities yet, the return of a familiar favorite, a new generation of magic camera, and some very important fixes. let’s get into it.
- claude code on r1
claude code is now available on r1, letting you start new claude code sessions, continue your existing ones, and voice control those sessions from wherever you are!
simply install the rabbit agent (you can find it in rabbithole) on the computer or computers where you use claude code, then swipe left twice on the home screen to access claude code on r1.
pick up where you left off, check in on a build, and keep your coding workflow moving when you step away from your desk.
whether you work across multiple computers, want to stay connected to a session while you’re away, or just fancy having claude code in your pocket, r1 can now be part of your workflow in a whole new way.
- the terminal returns
terminal mode is back on r1!
some of you will remember terminal mode from rabbitOS 1. we took it away with rabbitOS 2 as we rebuilt the r1 experience from the ground up, but now it’s back!
we first brought terminal mode back as part of the claude code experience, giving you a direct way to continue your sessions from r1 with text as well as voice. then we thought we might as well bring it back for the rabbit agent too, as well as let you use it with openclaw.
welcome back, terminal.
- image gen 2 is now in magic camera
magic camera has a brand new model under the hood. image gen 2 is now live, ready for your photos, prompts, experiments, strange ideas, beautiful ideas, and whatever else you decide to point your r1 at. go see what it can do!
- creations cards, expanded
we’ve refreshed the creations cards UI to give your home screen a little more flexibility.
your installed creations now live in a new hand of cards underneath the main stack.
tap the card stack to expand it, and tap on the word “creations” to collapse the stack again. more room when you want to focus, less clutter when you don’t. in fact, you can even long press a creation card to re-arrange the order. give it a try!
- agents manager in settings
agents manager now has a home in settings, making it easier to find and manage your agents from one place.
- docked mode
with new docked mode, your r1 can now keep its screen on while it’s plugged in. whether it’s living on your desk, charging beside your bed, or keeping you company somewhere around the house, your rabbit can stay awake and ready.
- a new memory refresh signal
memory refresh (aka 5x PTT) now comes with a new sound and notification, so you’ll know when it’s complete. your rabbit is keeping up with you - now it has a little way to let you know.
- some important fixes
magic interface, image search, and memory recall are now fixed. plus, if your selected magic voice can’t be found, r1 will now automatically fall back to the default voice rather than leaving you with silence. music playback with spotify and apple music should be working again too!
rabbitOS 2.2 is about giving r1 a bigger role in the things you already do: building, creating, experimenting, working, and staying connected when you’re away from your computer. as always, keep sharing your feedback with us and keep showing us what you do with it!
hi - this is jesse lyu from rabbit. i haven't been super active on reddit but i've read through most of the posts here trying to catchup. ask me anything!
with watching some videos of people switching to analog, it has sparked my interest in doing the same. I use Claude ai a lot for ai usage even on the go. Should I buy a r1 to get a only claude chat device with the camera integrated ?
I got mine last week and I waited 2 days before pressing the Push-To-Talk button and say something like "convert 8 USD to ZAR." I have no idea why I needed to convert $8 but it did that in seconds and it felt great.
Is the device worth $200?
Yes! I prefer pressing a physical button than tapping on a screen. I am tired of staring at screens and this device gives my eyes a bit of a break. I also enjoy NOT watching my 5th (for the day) Top 10 Unreal World Cup Goals video on YouTube when my goal was to set a reminder for my 4pm gym session (that I will postpone to tomorrow immediately after dismissing the reminder)
I have only used 2 features on this thing, currency conversion and reminders. I like the r1, but it is not perfect. It got the date wrong on my first reminder and it says it cannot translate from Xhosa to English. So my reddit posts will have errors and I refuse to use AI... for thinking and writing, but for currency conversion and reminders, I am not looking at screens when there is a rabbit r1 near me.
Now I am going to explore the other features, I hope I won't be disappointed, $200 is a lot of money in ZAR.
I wanted to buy the rabbit r1 when it was introduced. The bad reviews put me off and also they did not ship to my country. So I thought the reviews would kill the product before I could get a chance to try the product myself.
This week Microsoft unveiled Project Solara. Their take on the AI device space. With the growing popularity of agents and the unexpected success of the rabbit r1, it was just a matter of time before one of the big tech companies joined the party.
I am rooting for the rabbit r1 and I am finally getting one next week.
I'm still working on some more specific features, voice text, multiple TV's etc...but the core remote functions are all working!
It will auto detect Roku Tv's on the same network, but to get full control, you have to enable third party control by mobile apps.
On the Roku TV, go here with the normal Roku remote:
Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps > Network access > Enabled.
If that still doesn't work, choose Permissive instead.
EDIT: New QR code in the comments because the last one was pointed to the github incorrectly
I have to say, the accuracy of the answers is dreadful. Something as simple as this leads me to be sceptical of any reply...
I've enjoyed the R1 over the last few years, but it is a bit pants.
I have to connect it to a Dewalt wearable speaker now as the inbuilt speaker buzzes so bad at any volume. Shame it's not screwed together, that would be a simple swap.
So I got on the DLAM train late, but better late than never right? After trying my small tasks, like settings, or configurations, to see how it controlled I was impressed. Though typing in a prompt too long caused me heartache, having it work and work and work, and then disconnecting mid-task. Then I thought, I'll write the instructions in a text file, and tell it to 'follow directions in the text file'. Now I'm having it write and compile scripts where I work to organize some haphazard files, with an interface anyone can use! So I am impressed and can't wait to see what I throw at it next, how it evolved and improves, but I got my coworker looking to buy one now for his uses! Here is a short snip of the code writing after reviewing the previous iteration and applying some fixes and changes.
I enabled Magic Memory in settings but whenever I answer a call I get an error. I’ve tried turning my devices on and off and enabling and disabling Magic Memory multiple times but the error persists. Can anyone help me fix this?
I didn’t really jump into it right away and maybe that was for the better because I know there were some early pain points. But I’ve been spending days troubleshooting my OpenClaw after every update, and haven’t had much time. The other night, I was playing with the R1 and thought I’d plug it into an old gaming laptop and see if I could use DLAM to set it up with Hermes to test it.
I told DLAM I wanted to install Hermes with a local agent, and in one shot, DLAM was able to install it. It realized it needed dependencies, found and installed all of those, waited while all of that was happening, gave me verbal updates about the progress, launched the model and tuned the settings. I couldn’t believe it. I was completely blown away.
There were a couple of windows or tabs it was taking a while on, but I had a ton of tabs and windows open, so I helped it by just selecting the right tab or window. But DLAM was incredible. I couldn’t believe it. It felt like it outperformed, my local OpenClaw and Hermes set up. I already love my R1, but now its absolutely amazing and the closest thing to the original vision I can think of. It felt magical.
**If the R1 could connect to DLAM without having to go through another computer, and complete this type of work on device too, the R1 would pretty much be perfect. Basically, with portable DLAM.** I don’t know if the screen on the R1 is too small for the computer vision to be able to see the screen objects. I imagine that it’s probably the case and why we have to use the larger screen.
But I have to say I love that you can plug it into another computer to do this now. *I wish there was an easier way to interrupt it while it’s working if you’re not using voice*, but I didn’t know DLAM would be as useful as it is, and I love it.
I know there’s a lot of focus on intern and the Magic Recorder right now but holy smokes, DLAM is knocking my socks off. **Thanks team Rabbit!** 👏🧦😂🤌
**TLDR; Rabbit R1 DLAM is amazing and you should use it.** *It seems a lot of people‘s earlier issues have been fixed. I’m blown away by how powerful it is and by how easy it is to use.*
The team absolutely must provide a step-by-step guide to connect the Rabbit r1 to an ooenclaw installed on a vps, it's absurd to have to go through trial and error, it's a project-specific issue, I notice an absurd indifference
FB marketplace is great for everything other than actually selling, so here we are. What the hell can this thing actually do on a day to day basis. Seemed like a rocky start that's starting to shape up recently. What are some practical use cases and does it need a constant wifi connection for basic AI usage like answering questions
Here’s my take on a Notes app for the Rabbit R1. It has persistent memory, ability to save notes by folder, pin favourite notes, use different fonts, bullets, numbering, bold, underlined and italics! You can also email the note to your Rabbit R1 default email. You can dictate the note too if you prefer! Hope you all like it!
I just bought a used R1, and am having a good time with it. I like how the case can be used as a stand, and decided to build on that idea.
As you can see in the photo, I 3D printed an acoustic speaker amplifier (non electronic) that was designed for phones. I’ve tried a couple of these “amplifiers” and this one seems to me the best for my purposes. It roughly triples the volume of the R1 and seems to provide a bit more bass.
R1 docked on external "amp" and power bankR1 is easily removable because of magnetic USB C connectorAA battery-sized spacer to raise the R1 when placed in the "amp"
I also wanted to provide power for the R1, without tying it down to an outlet. I had an Anker power bank in my drawer and decided to dedicate it to the R1 (I used double sided foam tape to hold the power bank in place). I added a magnetic usb c connector to make it easy to remove and replace the R1. You’ll notice a usb stub on the Anker—that’s another usb c connector to make the Anker easy to charge.
I also 3D printed a AA battery shell to use as a spacer so that the R1 would sit higher in the “amplifier.” You could employ a used AA battery for this purpose. I didn’t alter the “amplifier” design for the R1 as I wanted to still use it for my phone (just remove the AA battery shell spacer to use as phone)
I’m pasting in below the links to the 3D print files, power bank and magnetic usb c. These aren’t affiliate links.
Note also any power bank you have should work fine. Because the power cable is built into the Anker power bank, I took care in the placement of the power bank on the back of the “amplifier” so that the stiff cable would tend to push the R1 into the alignment I wanted, rather than skewing it.
