Desktop agent · Open source · In development

From conversation to action—on your terms.

Chat, browse, schedule tasks, and work with files from one desktop app. You choose the model provider; asAgent keeps application state on your device and file changes recoverable.

What it does

Chat, browse, and automate in one place.

01

Conversations with tools

Connect an OpenAI-compatible model, follow run activity, and let the agent use enabled file or MCP tools.

02

Browser actions

Navigate, read pages, take snapshots, click, fill, select, and wait through semantic page references.

03

Scheduled agent runs

Create one-time, daily, or weekly tasks, review execution history, and run them again when needed.

Clear boundaries

What stays local, what doesn't.

asAgent keeps its application state locally, but it does not pretend every workflow is offline. External model providers and MCP services receive the data required to perform the actions you request.

Data and access
Data Where it lives Boundary
Conversations, events, and tasks Local SQLite Stored locally; relevant context may be sent to the configured model provider during a run.
File reads and writes Authorized workspace roots Reversible writes keep private pre-change snapshots; deletions move to Trash.
Provider credentials macOS Keychain Not exposed to the renderer process.
External model and MCP requests Configured services Receive the data required for the requested action.
