Row-Bot drives your desktop with mouse and keyboard — locked down by design
Acceptable-Object390 · reddit · 2026-11-15
Open-source Row-Bot (Windows/Mac) drives your computer with mouse, keyboard, and real apps, built on the premise that handing AI your desktop requires hard lockdown. Its measures: driver pinned to Cua 0.20.0 with SHA-256 verification and no hidden downloads; Cua update checks disabled in a stripped environment; telemetry disclosed before first run with continue/cancel; never types into password, 2FA, or card fields and never touches your password manager; risky actions (pay, delete, post) require approval unless hands-off mode is set; every click is judged by what's actually under the pointer.
