Free, open-source, local-first AI browser agent

Yad is a free, open-source AI browser agent that runs on Chrome and Brave (Edge in review), with two parts: a browser extension (Part A, the hand) and a local Companion (Part B, the brain). Runs on your own computer, never a cloud copy of your accounts. Your API key is encrypted on your device, capped, and stoppable with one click. Repeats cost zero further AI calls. Read the proof on our public Security page before you install.

I built Yad because every AI browser agent I tried wanted to run in the cloud with a copy of my logins. That felt backwards for something clicking around inside my own accounts. Yad runs entirely on your own machine. Your API key stays encrypted on your device, capped, and stoppable with one click. Repeats of the same task cost zero extra AI calls, since it caches what worked before. Before shipping, I ran my own red team attacks against it and published the results on a public security page, because I would rather show you the failures than just claim it is safe. It is free and open source. Would love your feedback, especially on what breaks.
