Nav (GetNav)

General-use macOS AI agent — you name a task, Nav takes it on.

Problem

Chatbots can talk, but they cannot see your screen or click through real apps. Most computer-use agents are locked to one cloud model and feel demo-fragile.

Solution

Nav is an open-source desktop agent for macOS that can see the screen, reason about what is on it, and perform real actions. You describe a task; Nav runs as a general computer-use agent, including with local LLMs so you are not stuck on a single API.

Stack

Python · macOS · Computer-use agents · Local LLMs · Desktop automation

Outcome

Shipped at getnav.app with an open-source desktop agent (navdesktopapp) that turns any LLM into a computer-use agent on Mac.
