Building AI agents that ship.
BinaryClerk is a local-first desktop AI coworker for people who live in the browser. One app on your machine that chats with capable models, drives your real Chrome through a companion extension, and keeps projects, chats, and files on disk (SQLite) instead of in someone else's cloud.
what it is
Cursor-style depth, but for the browser and your local data.
Own your context.
Conversations, memories, workflows, and usage data stay under your control. Only what you send to a model leaves the device.
Work where work happens.
The agent sees and acts in your tabs — with read-only mode, URL blocklists, approvals, and tool policy. Not a sandboxed copy of the web.
Ship serious automation.
Saved workflows, cron schedules, MCP tool servers, and optional shell tools for power users who opt in explicitly.
how it works
Two halves, one pairing. Everything stays on your machine unless you say otherwise.
- └ AI SDK agent loop
- └ SQLite + Drizzle
- └ MCP tool servers
- └ OS keychain (BYOK)
- └ Read your tabs
- └ Drive real pages
- └ URL blocklist + approvals
- └ Tool-use policy
