OpenComputer's first public developer release provides app-scoped background computer control on macOS through a JavaScript API and a local stdio MCP server.

  • Accessibility snapshots, semantic clicks/value changes, supported secondary actions, and window screenshots.
  • Exact app allowlists, expiring/consumed snapshots, secure-field handling, and foreground-focus reporting.
  • Claude and Grok setup guides, a disposable native fixture, and reproducible benchmarks.

Validation: 8 unit tests, 13 real macOS integration assertions, and successful Claude Code / Grok Build fixture runs. Both clients used 10 tool calls with zero errors; all mutations were performed in the background without changing focus. See the repository's benchmark report for measured timings and scope.

Download the runtime ZIP for the universal Apple Silicon/Intel helper plus JavaScript server, or the source ZIP to build yourself. Check assets against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Requires macOS 14+ and Node.js 22+ (Node is not bundled). The helper is ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized. Intel was cross-compiled and signature-checked, not executed on Intel hardware. This is a developer runtime rather than a graphical installer.

Keyboard input is experimental and scrolling depends on app support. Coordinate clicking/dragging, browser DOM automation, locked-screen access, Windows/Linux, and ChatGPT's private runtime/approval system are outside this release. The benchmark demonstrates the synthetic native fixture, not universal app compatibility.
