Carve is an open-source macOS agent that operates within a single window, using any LLM model to propose actions while a plain-code safety layer decides whether to execute them. It emphasizes safety with approval gates for consequential actions, verification of results, and audit logs. The project is notable for its well-documented design and practical approach to computer-use agents.

Target audience: macOS users, AI developers, automation enthusiasts, security-conscious professionals
