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

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 11:53 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

  • There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 20× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending today: #1, +2,243 stars.
  • GitHub Trending Rust today: #1, +2,243 stars.
  • About 178 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 5,673. +33271% 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.
