DEDUPEDWhat do you want to do?
3 use cases
-
Let an agent use Mac apps while you keep working
Give agents their own headless display so they operate apps without moving your cursor.
View prompt
Using ParthJadhav/SpaceO, open <app> in an agent session and complete <task> there. Confirm my cursor and frontmost app did not change during the run.
-
Watch, pause or take over an agent's session
Use the SpaceO Viewer to observe each agent's virtual display and step in when needed.
View prompt
Start two SpaceO sessions for <task A> and <task B>, observe both in the Viewer, and pause one midway. Confirm the other kept running.
-
Script isolated display sessions from the terminal
Run the daemon and create named sessions from the shell for your own agent harness.
View prompt
From the shell, start `spaceo daemon &`, create a session named <name> with --export, and launch <app> into it. Confirm the app rendered on the virtual display, not the physical one.
