Computer Use - macOS
Computer Use enables programmatic control of desktop environments within Daytona sandboxes. It provides mouse, keyboard, screenshot, and display operations for automating GUI interactions and testing desktop applications.
We recommend using this instance type if you need to interact with macOS-only applications.
Common Use Cases
- GUI Application Testing - Automate interactions with native macOS applications, click buttons, fill forms, and validate UI behavior
- Visual Testing & Screenshots - Capture screenshots of applications, compare UI states, and perform visual regression testing
- Desktop Automation - Automate repetitive macOS desktop tasks, file management through GUI, and complex workflows
Getting Started
Once you have access to the macOS Computer Use alpha, you’ll be able to programmatically control macOS desktop environments within your Daytona sandboxes. The functionality will include mouse operations, keyboard automation, screenshot capture, and display management specifically optimized for macOS environments.
