OpenOwl

In plain words

OpenOwl is a desktop automation agent for macOS that enables AI assistants like Claude to see screens, click buttons, and type into fields across any application or browser. Users describe tasks in plain English, and the system automates them locally without requiring APIs. It handles workflows like LinkedIn prospecting, Shopify updates, CRM data entry, form filling, and competitive research that typically demand manual clicking. The tool works with any MCP-compatible AI and targets users who want to automate repetitive interface-based tasks.

OpenOwl is a desktop automation agent for macOS. It gives AI assistants (Claude, Codex, or any MCP-compatible AI) the ability to see your screen, click buttons, type into fields, and navigate across any app or browser. You describe a task in plain English. OpenOwl does the rest. It automates the tasks that APIs can't touch LinkedIn prospecting, Shopify admin updates, legacy CRM data entry, form filling, competitive research, and anything that normally requires you to sit there clicking for hours

OpenOwl is a computer-using agent that gives AI assistants the power to see your screen, click, type, and automate any desktop or browser task. Works with Claude, Codex, and any MCP-compatible AI.

Tell OpenOwl what you want done. It sees your screen, clicks, types, and completes tasks across any app or browser - like having a smart assistant sitting at your computer. Install OpenOwl with one command and connect it to your AI assistant (Claude, Codex, or any MCP-compatible AI). Point it at what you want to automate - a browser tab, a desktop app, or your entire workflow. Just tell it what you need in plain language. "Find 50 leads on LinkedIn and save them to a spreadsheet" or "Update all prices in Shopify by 10%." No scripts, no code - just describe the task like you would to a human assistant. OpenOwl sees your screen, opens the right apps, clicks buttons, fills forms, and navigates…from openowl.dev

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them.
