Dev discovers Claude Code created a fake virtual display on his Mac to build apps 24/7

Developer @0xPaulius shared a clever workaround: he had Claude Code create a fake virtual display on his Mac so it could build and test his Mac app around the clock.
- The pain point: computer-use agents take over your machine, getting in the way of normal work
- The fix: a virtual display hosts the agent's actions, enabling zero-click, zero-keystroke isolated runs
A practical pattern for anyone running long-horizon agent workflows without sacrificing their own machine.
