BACKGROUND-FIRST AGENT TOOLS

Your agent works.
Your cursor
stays yours.

Give your agent access to your apps.
Keep your screen, your mouse, and your flow.

01 / THE DIFFERENCE

Two workflows.
One peaceful desktop.

Traditional screen automation shares your input devices.
StillDesk talks to the app through a background interface.

MONDAY, YOUR PACE

A little room
to think.

The outline is almost ready.
One more sentence, then coffee.

You can keep writing
your cursor, exactly where you left it

    01

    No pointer fights.

    App interfaces do the work. The tool never reaches for your physical mouse or global keyboard.

    02

    No debugging setup.

    The browser extension uses Native Messaging. No remote debugging port or debugger permission.

    03

    Clear about its limits.

    A missing background action returns a capability error. It never quietly switches to a foreground bot.

    02 / THE TOOLBOX

    Your real apps.
    A calmer way in.

    One entry point. Different native backends.
    Capabilities are specific, and visible.

    A SMALL CONTRACT

    When there is no
    quiet path,
    we say so.

    Native is a method.
    Transparency is the promise.

    03 / BRING YOUR AGENT

    Same tools.
    Your choice of agent.

    Use the CLI, add an MCP server, or export a client configuration.
    Each integration lists what has actually been checked.

    A few commands.
    No desktop takeover.

    Clone the repository, prepare the native bridge, then add the tools to your agent.

    State the boundaries.

    Let the agent help.
    Keep the desk.
