The best AI agent for Mac (local-first, sandboxed)

Why a Mac agent feels right

macOS already uses an -apple-system font and a glass aesthetic, so a well-built agent fits naturally. More importantly, the agent can open apps, read files, and run commands — the things you actually do on a Mac.

Install in one line

$ curl -fsSL https://remoteagent.online/install.sh | bash

Grant permissions once

The first time the agent touches files or opens an app, macOS asks for permission. Grant it once, then run remoteagent doctor to confirm everything is wired up.

What it can do on your Mac

• Open apps and the browser, and automate small workflows.
• Run sandboxed shell commands (argv-based, allowlisted).
• Manage files with deletes to the trash.
• Send notifications and stream metrics back to the dashboard.

Terminal or dashboard

Everything works from the CLI (remoteagent chat) or the hosted console. Pick whichever you are in.
