Watch it work
See exactly what your agent is doing as it does it — every click, every step — live on your Mac or mirrored to your phone. Nothing happens out of sight.
Agent Control
Let an agent use the computer —
Let an agent use the computer —
only when you say so.
Some jobs are just faster if the agent does them — clicks the buttons, fills the forms, works the apps. OpenBurnBar lets it, on a leash you hold. It does nothing you didn't allow, you can watch every move, and you can stop it in an instant.
Direct download · behind your grant
Hand off the busywork.
Let it run the browser for you
Hand off the busywork — fill the form, pull the data, click through the flow. The agent drives a real browser while you keep your hands free.
Let it use the Mac
Beyond the browser, the agent can use your apps the way you would — when you grant it that reach, and never before.
Approve each step — or trust it within your lines
Run it tap-by-tap, approving every action. Or set the boundaries once and let it move freely inside them. You choose how much rope, per task.
Draw the off-limits zones
Mark windows, sites, and screen areas the agent may never touch — password fields, your banking tab, anything private. Deny always wins.
A tamper-proof record of everything
Every action the agent takes is written to a record that can't be quietly edited after the fact. You can always see precisely what happened.
Chat, Mac CLI, or Terminal — your call.
Same agent, three ways to talk to it. Ask in plain language, watch it work the Mac command line, or drop into a live terminal yourself. Switch with one tap.
Real app · the Chat · Mac CLI · Terminal switcher
- Chat
Just ask
Tell the agent what you want in plain language. It works out the steps and does them — the friendliest way in, and the default.
- Mac CLI
Watch it work the command line
Follow the agent as it drives your Mac's command line, step by step — see every command before it runs.
- Terminal
Take the keyboard
Drop straight into a live terminal when you'd rather drive it yourself — the agent steps aside.
You decide how far it goes.
Three settings, your call per task. Start cautious; loosen it only when you trust the job.
- 01
Off
The default. The agent can read and answer, but it can't touch anything. Most people stay here.
- 02
Ask first
It proposes each action and waits. You see what it's about to do — with a picture — and approve or reject, one at a time.
- 03
Trusted, within limits
Set the boundaries once and let it move freely inside them. The moment it tries to step outside, it stops and asks.
Built to be stopped.
Power like this only belongs to a tool you can trust completely. So the brakes come first.
- It does nothing until you grant it — and you grant powers per task, not forever.
- Grants expire on their own; switch tasks and the reach resets to zero.
- Stop it instantly — a keyboard shortcut, a gesture on your phone, or the moment the lock screen appears.
- Prefer it never have this reach? The Mac App Store build ships without it entirely. This lives only in the direct download.
Give it a job. Keep the keys.
Agent Control comes with the direct download of OpenBurnBar. It stays off until you turn it on — and you can always turn it back off.
