## Company & launch

*Who makes it and when it arrived. Company type and funding are context, not a quality score: an open-source project and a public company carry different risks, not better or worse ones.*

- **Company type** `documented` — Startup [1]
- **Company stage** `documented` — Tiny Human Intelligence Inc, Delaware [1]
- **Disclosed funding** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Launch date** `documented` — Feb 18, 2026 · Open-source release · Repository first published [2]

**Launch history**

- 2026-02-18 · Open-source release · Repository first published [2]

## What it can do

*What this agent can actually operate — a machine of its own, yours, or neither. Computer control is three separate questions, and most products answer only some of them.*

- **What stands out** `documented` — Drives your real Chrome and desktop apps while asking before anything it cannot undo, and is built to run many agents cheaply on modest hardware [2, 6]
- **Computer use** `documented` — Operates the user's own desktop applications, choosing targets from on-screen controls without screenshots, and stopping before any payment [6]
- **Controls your computer** `documented` — Drives the user's real Chrome and desktop applications, asking before anything irreversible. [6]
- **Its own computer** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Works while your computer is off** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Runs on the user's desktop, though a Linux server can host the core headless so work continues without a desktop session. [2]
- **Browser control** `documented` — Drives a real Chrome browser on the user's machine [6]
- **Voice & ambient listening** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Background work & triggers** `documented` — A native cron tool plus durable workflow graphs with cron, event or manual triggers, approval steps and resume after a pause [2, 8]

## Apps & access

*Where you reach it and on what. A messaging integration is not a native app, so the two are tracked apart; an app listed here is a real first-party client.*

- **Native desktop apps** `documented` — Native installers for macOS, Windows and Linux, plus a terminal app [1, 2]
- **iPhone & Android apps** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — An iOS companion is documented as experimental and not shipping [10]
- **Web & messaging** `documented` — Desktop app and terminal, plus fourteen messaging channels [1, 7]
- **Messaging services** `documented` — iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Slack, Discord, WeChat, Feishu, Email [7]
- **Native hardware** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Developer API** `documented` — A JSON-RPC core over loopback or remote with a bearer token, a typed Rust embedding API, and an opt-in MCP server [2]

## Models & plans

*What you pay and what runs underneath. Where an agent is bundled into a larger subscription, the price shown is that subscription's — there is no separate fee for the agent.*

- **Models & providers** `documented` — Bring your own key across 26 providers, plus local models through Ollama, LM Studio and MLX, with automatic routing [9]
- **Bring your own model** `documented` — Bring your own keys, or run local models; the optional hosted tiers buy cheaper inference rather than features [4, 9]
- **Included in another plan** `documented` — Free open-source app, with optional paid hosted inference [4]
- **Price & usage costs** `documented` — The app is free. Optional hosted inference is Basic US$19.99/month or US$199/year and Pro US$199.99/month or US$1,799.99/year; every tier has every feature and higher tiers only buy cheaper inference [4]

## Vendor lock-in

*How hard it is to leave, and what survives if the company does. Almost no hosted vendor publishes a shutdown commitment, so an answer here is usually read from the architecture rather than from a promise.*

- **If the vendor stops** `documented` — GPL-3.0 software running on your own machine; a vendor account is optional and only buys hosted inference. [1, 3]
- **Remote shut-off** `documented` — Runs locally with no activation requirement; the account is optional. [1]
- **What you keep** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — State lives in a local folder you can copy, but no export feature is described and portability is offered only on request. [11]

## Ownership & control

*What it asks before acting, what it remembers, and who else can see it. These are the questions that decide whether you would hand it your inbox.*

- **Open source & license** `documented` — GPL-3.0 [3]
- **Where it runs** `documented` — Runs on the user's own Mac, Windows or Linux desktop, and can run headless on a Linux server; an optional hosted backend provides inference and billing [1, 2]
- **Passwords & credentials** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Approval before actions** `documented` — Asks before anything it cannot undo and stops before any payment [6]
- **What it remembers** `documented` — Remembers what you are working on, what you prefer and what is in your documents; the interface lets you add, delete, forget an item or forget a whole source [5]
- **Edit & export your data** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — No export feature is described; moving to another computer is a manual copy of the local data folder [11]
- **Privacy & isolation** `documented` — Sandboxing through an operating-system jail or Docker; memory can be stored on a self-hosted database instead of the vendor's [2, 5]
- **Availability & access** `documented` — Free download for macOS, Windows and Linux, described as an early beta under active development [1, 2]
