About the project

A thin Python harness giving an LLM agent direct control of macOS through six primitives (see, key, type, click, ax, script) to drive apps, the browser, and files. The agent writes any missing logic in plain Python mid-task.

Useful for

Run an agent that controls Spotify or another app via screenshots and clicks
Automate actions in an already logged-in Chrome through CDP without a fresh profile
Build a script that reads background app windows and home directory files in one Python process

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