About

offstage gives Claude Code, Codex and opencode a second, logged-in macOS account to work in. Simulators, Xcode UI tests and the app your agent just built open on that account's desktop, so your screen, keyboard and mouse stay yours. Free and open source: https://github.com/viraatdas/offstage

AI Summary
