Drive native desktop apps in the background. Agents click, type, and verify without stealing the cursor or focus. Use the same CLI and MCP server on macOS and Windows from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and custom clients. Linux support is available as a pre-release backend while platform testing is still in progress.

Then wire it into Claude Code as an MCP server and your agent can drive the desktop in the background:
