lahfir/agent-desktop

Agent Desktop gives any agent reliable computer use on the desktop. Built with Rust, it sees any app's real UI structure through OS accessibility trees and operates it — refs stay stable and actions stay safe to retry, instead of guessing from pixels.

About the project

Rust CLI that lets AI agents control desktop apps via macOS accessibility trees, with stable element refs and a snapshot-to-action loop. Combines a native binary with a C-ABI cdylib for Python/Swift/Go/Node bindings.

Useful for

Drive Slack or Xcode from an agent via snapshots and ref-based clicks
Cut token usage on dense UIs using skeleton traversal before acting
Open a CDP port to control Chromium app content with Playwright

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.
