App-Use, Control Individual Applications with CUA Agents (trycua.com)
2 points by GreenGames 3 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


Hi there, Alessandro and Francesco here. We just launched an experimental feature in C/ua called App-Use. It lets you create virtual desktops scoped to specific apps (e.g., "Safari and Notes only") to give your agents focused, lightweight control without full-screen access.

Use cases:

- Run multiple agents in parallel with isolated app views

- Automate your iPhone using the iPhone Mirroring app

- Improve agent task precision and reduce VLM distractions

Works only on macOS (Sequoia+) and requires experiments=["app-use"]. No extra processes, just clever compositing.

Feedback and experiments welcome!
