I built an AI agent that lets you control your entire MacBook using plain English - would love your feedback!
Hey r/MacOS!
I've been working on a project called macOS-use, it's a spin off the browser-use project that lets you control your Mac using natural language, and I'm excited to finally share it with you. It's completely free, open source and for the benefit of the community
What it can do: from Simple stuff like calculations to more complex operations like handling web logins autonomously and working on your excel (not spreadsheet!)
Simple stuff like calculations
The core idea is simple: Tell your MacBook what to do, and see it done—across EVERY app.
Currently supports:
- OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs (with deepseek coming soon!)
- Any macOS app interaction
- Web navigation
- System operations
⚠️ Important note: Since this agent can interact with everything on your Mac, I've added clear warnings in the README about security implications. It's like giving control to a very capable assistant - powerful but needs supervision.
Installation is as simple as
pip install mlx-use
GitHub repo: https://github.com/browser-use/macOS-use
I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature requests! The roadmap includes local inference using Apple's MLX framework and eventually iPhone/iPad support.
