Flowly

What it does: Flowly can act on your Mac—opening apps, clicking, and reading on-screen content—all within a fully sandboxed environment for safety. It's not a chatbot that only talks about doing things; it actually performs them. A single memory instance persists across desktop and iPhone, so your context travels with you.\n\nAdvantages: Being open-source and self-hosted gives you full data control. The Computer Use capability turns a conversational agent into a real digital assistant. Cross-device persistent memory removes the need to re‑teach the agent on each device.\n\nDrawbacks & risks: Currently only evidence of Mac and iPhone support exists; Linux or Windows compatibility is unmentioned. Self‑hosting demands technical setup and maintenance. As an early‑stage project, feature completeness and stability may vary.\n\nBest for: Tech‑savvy individuals and developers who value privacy and are comfortable with self‑hosting, wanting to automate repetitive desktop tasks. Not recommended for non‑technical users seeking a plug‑and‑play experience.
