What makes it different
  • Everything stays on your Mac—no data is kept on servers, and screenshots never leave unless you send them to an agent yourself
  • Automatic task memory means your agent remembers context from previous conversations about the same issue
  • Fully open source under MIT licence so you can verify all privacy and security claims
  • Supports mixed-language voice input in a single sentence
  • Import-first approach: reads existing configs from all your tools and converges them before you write YAML
  • No marketing gloss: capability table generated at build time from actual adapter code, not hand-maintained
  • Portable across tools: single harness.yaml travels with you to every machine and tool
  • Open source and free: no cost beyond existing Claude subscription
  • Based on open specification: Harness Protocol is vendor-neutral and JSON Schema validated
