Its own computer
Each bot boots a private Linux desktop. It never sees your files, your browser, or your machine.
Desktop app · macOS, Windows, Linux
A bot that works like you do.
Each Sub8 gets a private Linux desktop. You chat. It clicks, types, and browses on a machine that isn't yours.

Inside the app
Chat on the left. A live desktop on the right.
Ask for the work. Watch it happen. Take the mouse if you want it done your way.
Why it exists
The assistant never sits on your Mac.
Clicks like a person
It looks at the screen, then uses the mouse and keyboard. You watch. You can jump in any time.
Password vault
Keep logins in a vault. Grant them per bot. It pastes into the field. Secrets never show up in chat.
Take control anytime
The stream is view-only until you grab it. The bot stops. You drive. Hand it back when you're ready.
Standing routines
Give a bot a job and a schedule. Changelogs, inboxes, reports. It keeps going without a new prompt every time.
Harnesses
Pick the brain. Same computer.
Each bot can use a different harness. Grok, Claude, Codex, or a model that never leaves this machine.
- Grok BuildRuns inside the bot's computer.
- ClaudeAnthropic, from the host.
- CodexOpenAI Codex, from the host.
- OllamaLocal models on this machine.
- LM StudioLocal models, listed live.
- SpaceXAIGrok over the API.
The crew
Every bot has a face.
They sit in the rail while they work. Happy, thinking, asleep. Yours to pick.
How it runs
Three steps. Then it works.
01
Install the app
One download for Mac, Windows, or Linux. Open it and you're in.
02
Give it a computer
Docker or Colima on the side. That's the desk each bot sits at.
03
Talk. Watch it work.
Chat like you would with anyone. It clicks, types, and gets through the task on its own screen.
