Most "AI coding" products still put a chat window next to your editor and call it a day. I wanted something closer to what Claude Code already does well on a server: give it a real computer and let it drive.
Superagent is a Mac app that gives Claude Code (or any agent you point it at) an actual environment to work in, not just a text box. Concretely:
- A real browser it can navigate, click, type into, and read the DOM of, not screenshots and guesses.
- An iOS Simulator window it can install apps into, tap through, and screenshot to verify UI changes.
- A relay that pairs your Mac with your phone, so the agent can keep working (and you can keep watching) from your pocket.
The core idea is boring on purpose: don't build a smarter chat window, build a better place for the agent to act. Most of the interesting failures I hit while building this weren't in the model, they were in the environment: synthetic file inputs that don't persist through a web form's upload component, elements that exist in the DOM but aren't in the accessibility tree, simulator state that drifts from what a screenshot shows. Fixing those is what actually makes an agent reliable to hand a task to.
It's built as three pieces: an Electron desktop app, a SwiftUI iOS companion, and a small Cloudflare Worker relay that pairs the two with per-address rate limits so a lost phone can't be used to spam a stranger's Mac.

Happy to answer questions about the browser automation approach, the simulator driving, or the relay's pairing/security model in the comments.
