ego lite
ego lite is a macOS browser built for AI agents to use your real browsing sessions, logins, tabs, and web workflows locally.
What is ego lite?
ego lite is a Mac browser for people who want AI agents to interact with real websites using an actual logged-in browser environment. It helps users run browser automation, web tasks, and agent-assisted workflows without manually copying cookies or recreating sessions in a separate tool. The app is designed around sharing browser state with agent tools, including access to tabs, bookmarks, and existing sign-ins after setup. On macOS, it also supports background updating and installation for Intel or Apple Silicon systems. This makes it useful for research, repetitive web actions, testing flows, and other browser-based tasks where an AI agent needs a browser that behaves more like a normal daily-use environment.
Key features
- Run browser tasks for AI agents using a real macOS browser app
- Reuse existing Chrome login state, cookies, extensions, and bookmarks after migration
- Let agent tools access browser sessions through the ego-browser workflow
- Open and use normal web pages in a human-facing browser interface
- Handle parallel browser-based tasks on the local Mac
- Update in the background and apply new versions on the next launch

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
ego lite is intended to let AI agents work inside a real browser session, so it can involve access to signed-in websites, cookies, tabs, and browsing data. That level of access is central to its purpose, but it means you should use it only with agents and workflows you trust, especially on accounts that contain sensitive personal or work information. Some password-manager and Apple ecosystem integrations may behave differently than they do in Safari or Chrome, so test important sign-in flows carefully before relying on it for critical work.
Recommendation: Keep ego lite if you actively use AI-driven browser automation or want agents to work with your existing web sessions on Mac. If you do not use those workflows, you can remove it like other third-party apps. Before using it with important accounts, start with a non-critical profile or limited set of websites so you can confirm that logins, autofill, and agent access behave the way you expect.
