Hands on your Mac

Computer use

Jevie can work any app or page from the screen itself, in the background, while you keep your own pointer, keyboard and window.

How it works

When a page or an app offers nothing to press, Jevie looks at the screen, acts, and looks again to check, one short run at a time. It works the app's own window even behind others or on another Space, with its own cursor, so you keep working. In apps that name little, a button is found by sight and pressed only once Jevie is sure it is the right one.

Anything that sends, posts, deletes, buys or submits is asked of you first, and passwords, codes and payment details are never typed. Every run is kept as a video, with a second copy that zooms in on each click.

Limits

• Background windows, drag, scroll and the agent cursor need the Cua driver, with Accessibility and Screen Recording allowed.
• A drag briefly brings the window forward; hover and tooltips do not show in a background window.
• Finding a control by sight sends a picture of that window to Typesafe and needs your own key, not a Jevie Cloud token.

Where it's kept

The choice of motion in ~/.jevie/settings.json (agentCursor); videos in ~/.jevie/screen-runs.
