Hey Product Hunt! Mihir here, maker of OpenOwl.

I built this because of a frustration I couldn't shake:

I'd ask Claude to help me with a task, and it would give me perfect step-by-step instructions... that I then had to spend 45 minutes clicking through myself.

LinkedIn prospecting? "Go to this profile, click Connect, type this message." Great advice. But I still had to do all the clicking.

Updating 200 product prices in Shopify? Claude knew exactly what to change. But there's no API for the admin panel. So I sat there. Clicking. For two hours.

AI can think for you. But it couldn't act for you. That's the gap.

OpenOwl is an MCP server that gives your AI assistant actual eyes and hands on your screen. It sees your screen, moves the cursor, clicks buttons, types into fields, and navigates between apps — not through APIs, but through the actual UI, like a human would.

You describe what you need in plain English. OpenOwl does the rest.

A few things worth knowing:

Works with Claude, Codex, and any MCP-compatible AI
Runs 100% locally on your Mac — screenshots and data never leave your machine
Install with one command: npm i openowl
Free tier included — 50 tool calls/day, no credit card needed
macOS only right now (Apple Silicon + Intel)

This started as a weekend project to scratch my own itch. Now it's something I use every single day — and genuinely can't go back to doing these tasks manually.

What repetitive screen task would you hand off to your AI if it could actually click for you? Would love to hear what you'd use this for.
