Overview
Atlas is a free, open-source Mac app that gives an AI agent its own hidden desktop while you keep using yours. The agent can open apps, click, type and take screenshots there without taking over your screen, mouse or keyboard. You install it with one shell command and connect a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor in its settings. The agent's desktop is signed in to your Mac account, so it can use the apps and accounts already there; review the install script and keep that in mind before giving it tasks.
