  • •Controls the real cursor, not just clicks — can nudge with pixel precision
Weaknesses
  • •Early prototype with 0 stars, 0 forks — unproven at scale
  • •macOS-only and requires Apple Silicon for vision model features

Post Description

Keyway lets you control your Mac purely from the keyboard. This time, throw your mouse away — for real. If you love Homerow or Vimium, give it a try. I think you will find it does more.

Automate Mac with Codex: macOS Control MCP Demo

Lets agents actually see the screen and act on it by returning OCR text with pixel coordinates and offering commands like click_at, type_text, and press_key. You can run it instantly with npx (it auto-creates a Python venv and hooks into Apple Vision/Quartz), and there are ready-made integration snippets for Claude, VS Code, and Cursor — a pragmatic, technically neat tool for closed-loop agent UI work. It’s limited to macOS 13+ and Apple APIs, but within that niche it removes a lot of friction.
