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. Group them into teams. You chat. They click, type, and browse 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.
Teams
Group bots however you want. A chief assigns steps. Teammates split the work on one shared desk.
Password vault
Keep logins in a vault. Grant them per bot. It pastes into the field. Secrets never show up in chat.
Clicks like a person
It looks at the screen, then uses the mouse and keyboard. You watch. You can jump in any time.
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.
Teams
Group them. Split the job.
Make as many teams as you want. A chief assigns the steps. Teammates work in parallel on one shared Linux desk, each with its own screen and Chrome.
- Many groupsKitchen, Flights, Lab. Each team lives in the rail as its own crew.
- One deskThey share a computer and disk. The chief keeps display one. Workers get their own.
- A job barPending, running, done, blocked. You see the split without reading the chat.
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.
