Features

Six switches. It can only use the ones that are on.

Everything an agent can reach is a switch in its settings: Files, Web, Browser, Computer, Terminal and Schedules. Turn off what a job doesn’t need. An agent without a switch doesn’t have that tool at all, so there is nothing to talk it into.

Green stays in its folder or only reads. Orange reaches further, so it asks first.

Files

Your files, in the folder you choose.

Each agent works in one folder, ~/localoy/<name> unless you pick another. It reads, writes, searches and moves files there: a spreadsheet of leads, a report, drafts next to the originals. It tells you which files it touched.

Reading and editing inside that folder needs no question in Auto. Anything outside it asks first.

Web

Research that shows its sources.

It searches the web and reads the pages it finds, then writes up what it learned with the links, so you can check every claim. The Web switch only reads: it never signs in, types or submits. For that, it needs the Browser switch.

Browser

A real browser beside the chat.

It opens pages, clicks, types, fills forms, and uploads and downloads files, in a browser you watch and can take over. It can use sites you’re signed into: on macOS you bring in sign-ins from Chrome, Brave, Edge or Arc, one site at a time.

Before it presses anything that commits you (send, pay, order, delete, publish and the like) it asks. Uploads always ask.

Computer

Your desktop apps, while you keep working.

It works in your apps from behind your windows: opens them, presses buttons, fills in fields, uses the menus, saves and exports, without taking your mouse or keyboard. When a job needs an app in front, it asks to borrow it and hands it back. If you start using the app it’s in, it stops and asks.

It asks once for each app, and again before anything sensitive. It never touches password fields or takes over your screen. macOS today; Windows is in beta.

Terminal

Commands and long jobs.

It runs commands: sh on macOS and Linux, PowerShell or Git Bash on Windows. Slow work like builds and tests runs in the background while you keep talking, and you can see and stop everything it started.

Commands that could do damage (deleting folders, sudo, force-pushing) or that touch your keys ask first, with the command shown in full.

Permission — run rm, which is hard to undo (rm recursive) · Show command
AllowDon’t allow

The question before a command that’s hard to undo. There’s no “always” for these: it asks every time.

Schedules

Describe it once. Arm it. It runs on its own.

Write the job in your own words (“audit the site every night”) and it drafts a schedule with its own folder and settings. Nothing runs until you review it and press Arm. Every day, every weekday or every Monday, at the time you choose, and you can try it first with Run now.

A run with nobody watching can’t ask, so anything you didn’t allow is refused and listed for you to allow next time. Schedules run while Localoy is open on a computer that’s awake.

A drafted schedule waits for you to arm it; what it wasn’t allowed to do is listed after each run.

Always included

No switch needed for these.

The Vinci editor

Ask for posts, banners or a campaign set and it designs them with real text, your logo and your colours, at each channel’s size. You edit it too, and export at any resolution. More about Vinci →

Local or cloud models

Download a free model (Llama, Gemma or Qwen) and run it offline, or use Localoy’s cloud models, like DeepSeek, Kimi and Claude Haiku, on your Localoy credit. Each agent can use a different model, with a daily spending limit if you want one.

From your phone, or a server

Link a Telegram chat and ask from anywhere; questions arrive as buttons. Or install it on a server with one command and no app. Telegram guide · Server guide

Safety and control

You see every step. It asks before the big ones.

Plan, Auto or Manual

New chats start in Plan: it asks and proposes, and nothing runs. Auto does the job and asks only before sensitive things. Manual asks before every action.

It asks first

Before anything that commits you in the browser, before a new app, before risky commands, and before anything outside its folder.

Every step is shown

In plain sentences, as it works. Stop it at any moment with Stop or Esc.

Nothing listens from outside

It only answers on your own computer, your sign-in stays in the keychain, and only your linked Telegram account can drive it.
