Lets existing users of the Manus agent work on their own files and GPU, with approval for every command; plan prices are unclear.
Kenning's take
What it does
My Computer is the main feature of the Manus Desktop app, letting the Manus AI agent run terminal commands on a person's own computer instead of only in the cloud. It can sort and rename files, build apps with local developer tools, and use a local GPU, and tasks can be sent from a phone to a computer left running at home. Every command needs approval, either once or always.
- Runs terminal commands on the local machine
- Reads, edits and organises local files in chosen folders
- Builds apps with local tools such as Python, Node.js and Xcode
- Uses an idle local GPU or Mac mini
- Approve each command or allow trusted ones always
- Works with Manus scheduled tasks and projects
Who it suits. Manus users who want the agent to handle files, scripts and apps on their own computer.
