offstage

offstage is an innovative open-source tool designed for developers working on macOS who want to isolate automated tasks from their main workspace. By providing a separate, logged-in macOS account for running simulators, Xcode UI tests, or automated builds, offstage ensures that your primary screen, keyboard, and mouse remain unaffected. This separation enhances security, reduces clutter, and allows for cleaner automation workflows. Ideal for AI developers, QA testers, and CI/CD pipelines, offstage enables seamless integration with AI code assistants like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenAI's Opencode, giving these agents a dedicated environment without intruding on the user's main session. Its open-source nature on GitHub encourages community collaboration and customization, making it a versatile addition to any developer’s toolkit.
