About the project

LCU exposes Codex's original computer-use runtime to any agent harness, letting agents control desktop apps and Chrome tabs without logging into Codex. Includes adapters for Pi, Codex CLI, and Claude Code.

Useful for
  • Let a Claude Code agent click and type in desktop apps like Zed or Notes
  • Control Chrome tabs through the official extension with per-site approval
  • Run LCU on an unattended VM with pre-approved tools for automation

4.8 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 20, 2026, 06:05 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 05:14–05:55: 1622 → 1634 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +273 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 8× that of the previous week and a half.
  • The repository is 28 days old and already has 1,634 stars.
  • Top new repositories this month: #99.
  • About 31 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 590. +16% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
