Who it is forA developer whose computer-use agent keeps stealing focus mid-task.
The problemDesktop agents and humans cannot share one screen and cursor.
The outcomeAgents working in real apps on a virtual display while you use your Mac normally.
What you need first
- macOS
- An MCP client such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Claude Desktop
Steps
- Install with
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ParthJadhav/SpaceO/main/install.sh | bash - Run
spaceo setup --client claude-code(or codex, cursor, claude-desktop) - Ask your agent to do a task in a supported app
- Keep working on your physical display
Prompt for your agent
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.
Caveat. Managed Electron apps such as Cursor and VS Code are refused as targets because they can take desktop focus.
Use this in your AI agent
Ask your agent
Using the Deduped MCP, get the setup steps for ParthJadhav/SpaceO and "Let an agent use Mac apps while you keep working"
