An AI that works your Mac the way you do — clicking, typing, and moving through real apps. No APIs, no connectors, no setup. Just tell it what to do, and watch.
It uses your apps through their real screens — exactly like you would.
Describe a button and the AI assembles every step — no connectors to build, nothing to wire up.
It pauses and asks at the moments you'd want to check first.
Full automation is scary. Buttons isn't. Each step is tagged with exactly who does it — so you can hand off the boring parts and keep your hands on anything that matters.
Buttons clicks and types its way through the step on its own. The screen edge glows green while it's in control.
At a checkpoint it stops and asks — keep going, skip, or type an answer — before it moves on.
Some things are yours — a password, a judgment call. Buttons waits patiently until you tap "I'm done."
Run the same little routine over every email, file, or row — Buttons handles them one by one.
"Check all my unread email and draft replies." That's it. No scripting, no flowchart builder — just talk to Buttons like you'd brief a very capable assistant.
Buttons turns your words into clear, editable steps — each tagged with who does it. Reorder them, drop in an approval checkpoint, or add a loop. You're always looking at exactly what will happen.
A glowing border shows when Buttons is driving — neon green when it's in control, amber when it needs you. Step away, glance over, or take the wheel at any moment. Pressing Escape stops a run instantly, from any app.
When you first set up Buttons, it watches you do four everyday things your way — open a browser, find a file, launch an app, switch windows. From that it learns your shortcuts, your apps, and how you get around. Then it drives your Mac the way you would.
🔒 To act, Buttons looks at your screen the way you do — and we're upfront about exactly what that means. Read the plain-English version →
Save every routine as a button and group them into shelves — Mornings, Inbox, whatever fits your day. One tap to fire.
Need something done right now? Type it in the quick bar and run it once — nothing saved unless you want to keep it.
A glowing screen border and status pill tell you at a glance whether Buttons is working or waiting on you.
Screenshots exist to act, not to collect — they're never used to train models. Run logs are off by default, and if you turn them on they live only on your Mac.
Drop a "you choose" step anywhere, and Buttons pauses and waits for your go-ahead. Asking before every send is on by default.
Because it uses the screen like you do, Buttons works with anything on your Mac — even apps with no API at all.
Buttons works by looking at your screen — so while a run is active, it captures the display you choose and sends those images to Anthropic's API to decide each step. That happens only during a run, never in the background, and it's not used to train models. Run logs are off by default and only ever stored on your own Mac.

You're in the loop by design. Steps you mark as checkpoints make Buttons stop and ask before it acts, asking before every send is on by default, and pressing Escape stops a run instantly — from any app, even while Buttons has the pointer.
No. You describe what you want in plain words and Buttons lays out the steps. There are no APIs, connectors, or OAuth flows to set up — nothing to configure. You don't need an API key either: sign in with Apple or Google and Buttons handles the rest.
While a run is active, Buttons captures the screen of the display you choose and sends those images to Anthropic's API so the model can decide the next step. That data is not used to train models. Your account stores your sign-in identity and a daily count of runs — nothing else — and you can delete it from inside the app. Run logs (screenshots and typed text) are off by default; if you turn them on, they're stored only on your Mac.

A Mac running macOS 14 or later — Apple silicon or Intel. You sign in with Apple or Google, then grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions during a quick onboarding. Both can be revoked at any time in System Settings.
Soon — Buttons is on its way to a first release. It ships as a notarized download signed by Blastoise, LLC, directly from this site.
Buttons is almost ready. When it ships, the download will be right here — teach it how you work, hand off the busywork, and stay in the loop.
Coming soon for macOS
