What is SpaceO?

SpaceO runs the apps your AI agents use on separate headless virtual displays, so agents can work in real Mac apps while you keep using your computer. A viewer shows each session's activity and lets you pause or take over, and it exposes MCP so agents in other tools can drive supported apps.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what SpaceO does well

  • Agents stop stealing your cursor and focus
  • Pause or hand off any session from the viewer
  • Signed, notarised releases, MIT licensed

Cons: where it falls short

  • Supports native apps and Chromium browsers only
  • Electron apps like VS Code and Cursor can't run inside it

Who SpaceO is for

Mac users who let AI agents operate apps and want to keep working at the same time.

Who can skip it

People who don't use computer-use agents.
