Open Frame

Open Frame

Open-source desktop automation engine for AI agents and scripts.

Open Frame sees what is on screen, finds targets, interacts with UI, and verifies outcomes. It is built to be deterministic, scriptable, and auditable.

Open Frame is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any third-party automation vendor.

Open Frame is the deterministic execution layer behind AI agents, not the agent itself.

How this differs from assistant UX tools

  • Open Frame executes deterministic capture/recognize/act/verify primitives.
  • External LLM agents (or scripts) decide what tool call to make next.
  • The engine returns compact structured outputs and artifact paths for debugging.

Status

Beta (v0.2.1) — macOS-first. Available on PyPI as off-camber-open-frame. Evidence for this release comes from CI plus a local macOS live gate (including MCP stdio smoke); see release gates. Changelog: CHANGELOG.md.

Who this is for

  • Developers automating desktop workflows.
  • Teams who want agent-callable UI execution without bloating context windows.
  • Contributors building recognizers, flows, or integrations.

Quickstart (beta funnel)

1. Install

pip install "off-camber-open-frame[mcp,ocr,act,flow,template]"
brew install tesseract

On macOS, grant your terminal or IDE host Screen Recording and Accessibility (System Settings → Privacy & Security), then restart that app.

2. Diagnose

open-frame doctor

All required checks should report pass (overall: ok). Optional extras that are not installed show as skip and do not fail the report.

3. Connect an MCP client

Point Claude Desktop or Cursor at the stdio server:

open-frame mcp serve

Copy-paste client config: MCP server setup.

4. Run a first flow

open-frame find "Submit" --json
open-frame run examples/flows/mcp-dry-run-wait/flow.yaml --dry-run --json

If open-frame is not on your PATH yet:

python -m openframe.cli doctor

Local development (repo clone)

python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev,ocr,act,flow,mcp,template]"
open-frame doctor
open-frame mcp list-tools --json

If python3.11 is not available on a fresh macOS machine:

brew install python@3.11
