Start locally with Desktop or the CLI.

It runs on this computer. You can show the clicks, or a local agent can click while you watch. OpenAdapt turns the recording into a program. A person admits it. Later it repeats the work here. Those runs don't send your data to a model. Before it says the job is done, it checks the record, not the screen.

Desktop or the command line. Same program.

If you use the CLI, the five-minute walkthrough covers what qualifying a real job adds, then one read-only workflow on your own app.

Native app

OpenAdapt Desktop

Record, compile, inspect, qualify, run, and review evidence from the visual cockpit. It packages the same governed workflow engine behind a native app.

Synthetic OpenAdapt Desktop workflow library with one halted and one verified workflow, rendered from Desktop 0.15.

The workflow library

  1. 1 · Download the installer
    We'll match this computer. Other builds are one click away.
  2. 2 · Open it and grant access
    Grant the local permissions needed to capture your demonstration.
  3. 3 · Run the visual workflow
    Review the compiled graph, policy, result, and retained evidence in one place.

macOS is ad-hoc signed and Windows is unsigned. Checksums are with the other builds.

Desktop opens without a browser download. Chromium is added only if you choose a browser workflow; native, RDP, and Citrix work stays on its own substrate path.

Command line

OpenAdapt CLI

Install, then your local agent can run it. Tutorial is optional.

1 · Install

python -m pip install --upgrade openadapt

Requires Python 3.10–3.12.

Optional tutorial

The tutorial writes a VERIFIED receipt. The halt demo shows an independent read stopping the run when the banner lies.

Optional after local success

Keep running locally, connect Cloud, or qualify the real work.

Connect this computer

Pair the local runtime with your Cloud workspace for approved workflow handoff, run history, and collaboration. Pairing is free; managed runs use the Cloud plan.

Connect to Cloud

Bring the actual workflow

Record one task on your own web app in about five minutes. If the work is consequential, qualify the exact application, identity checks, effect verifier, failure cases, and deployment boundary before you treat a run as Production.
