DesktopCtl

Local CLI letting AI agents observe and control your computer via screen and mouse

Desktopfreeglobal

DesktopCtl is a free, open-source, local CLI tool that gives AI agents computer-use capability — observing the screen and controlling mouse and keyboard — with GPU acceleration and no screenshots sent to the cloud. It's aimed at developers building AI agents that need to interact with a desktop directly rather than through a cloud-based computer-use API.
