Hey everyone 👋 I built EverFern because I liked what tools like Claude Cowork and Manus were doing, but didn't love paying $20-200/month for something I couldn't audit or run offline. So I built a version that runs entirely on your machine. It can click through apps, fill out forms, edit PDFs and spreadsheets, write code, and run shell commands, all inside an isolated VM so it can't mess with your actual system. It's early (v0.1.5, beta). Windows installer is ready, macOS is build-from-source for now. There are rough edges and things that don't work yet. I'd love your honest feedback, what's missing, what breaks, what you'd want it to do that it doesn't yet. I'll be here all day answering questions. Repo's fully open if you want to poke around:
