// how it works

How it works

  1. Install BrowserOS neo

    Download it for your platform or install with Homebrew on macOS; it sits next to Chrome rather than replacing it.

  2. Import from Chrome

    One click brings over your logins, bookmarks, passwords and extensions so agents can work with your real accounts from the first task.

  3. Connect your agent

    BrowserOS finds Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP tools on your machine and connects any of them with one click.

  4. Hand off a task

    Give the task to your agent (not the browser) and watch it work live in its own tab, or replay the saved session video later.

Why people love it

A browser dedicated to agents

BrowserOS neo is a secondary browser made for AI agents, so agent work never tangles with your own browsing.

Your real logins

One-click Chrome import gives agents your logged-in accounts and persistent sessions - unlike headless drivers that start from a blank sandbox.

Parallel agents with live dashboard

Several agents work at once in their own tabs, and the new-tab dashboard shows every agent's site, action and progress.

Session replay

Every session is saved on your disk as a scrubbable video with a step-by-step action timeline, so you can rewind and audit exactly what happened.

Local-only privacy

Sessions, screenshots and history live under ~/.browserclaw/ and never leave your machine; only anonymous product-usage events are sent, with a one-toggle opt-out.

Works with the agents you already pay for

Any MCP-speaking tool connects - Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, OpenCode and others - instead of locking you into one vendor's AI.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone the BrowserOS monorepo if you want to build or contribute; most users install the released browser instead.

    git clone https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS.git
    cd BrowserOS
  2. Install BrowserOS neo on macOS

    Install the agent browser with Homebrew, or download installers for macOS, Windows or Linux from the project site.

    brew tap browseros-ai/tap
    brew install --cask browseros-neo
  3. Connect an agent and delegate

    Import your Chrome data, one-click connect Claude Code or Codex, then give the agent a web task from your usual tool.

Questions, answered

Who maintains BrowserOS?

BrowserOS is built by browseros-ai (Felafax, Inc.) with open-source contributors.

Is BrowserOS free?

Both browsers are open source under AGPL-3.0 and free to download and use.

Does it need a paid API key?

BrowserOS neo drives the agents you already use and pay for (such as a Claude Code subscription). The human BrowserOS browser lets you bring your own AI keys or run locally with Ollama.

How does BrowserOS compare with Playwright or cloud browsers?

Playwright-style drivers start a fresh, logged-out browser (good for CI, poor for real account work) and cloud browsers run on datacenter IPs that sites often block; BrowserOS runs locally with your real logins.

How do I get started?

Install BrowserOS neo, import from Chrome in one click, connect your agent, and delegate your first task.
