Browser Use Desktop App

What it solves

Browser Use Desktop App provides a way to run AI browser agents on your desktop without replacing your primary web browser. It allows agents to operate within a fresh Chromium instance that inherits your existing cookies, ensuring they are logged into the same accounts as you are.

How it works

The application ports your browser cookies into a fresh Chromium environment. It allows you to spawn agent tasks from anywhere on your desktop using a keyboard shortcut. It is built on the Browser Harness framework and supports multiple LLM providers including Anthropic (Claude) and Codex (ChatGPT).

Who it’s for

Users who want to automate web-based tasks using AI agents that can access their logged-in sessions without switching to a dedicated AI browser.

Highlights

  • Cookie Porting: Automatically imports cookies to keep agents logged into your accounts.
  • Cross-Platform: Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • **Keyboard Shortcut: Quickly trigger agent tasks from anywhere on the system.
  • Integration: Supports inbound message channels like WhatsApp for triggering agent sessions via text.
  • Provider Support: Compatible with Anthropic and Codex.
