OSS alt to proprietary computer-use sandboxes; ~21100 stars; complements macOS-use (XREF), self-operating-computer, Open Interpreter; MIT. NOT the same as XREF macOS-use: this is the broader trycua/cua project (Computer/Lume/Lumier + cross-OS agent fleets & benchmarks) with sandboxed VMs. Sandboxing is the intended safety boundary for computer-use. No per-platform ToS flag.
