Effectiveness · benchmark pending
We haven't benchmarked Peekaboo yet, so its score is provisional — computed from safety, maintenance, and documentation only, with popularity given no weight. When we benchmark it, we measure whether it produces materially better output than a frontier model alone, and that result leads the score. How we measure.
About Peekaboo
Description · AI-summarised from the steipete README
Peekaboo brings pixel-accurate screen capture, AI-driven analysis, and complete graphical user interface automation to macOS. It enables natural-language agents to chain automation tools—capturing screenshots, clicking UI elements by label, typing, scrolling, pressing hotkeys, interacting with menus, managing windows, and controlling apps. Supports multi-provider AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), runs as both a native CLI and MCP server for use in Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor, and includes workflows with reproducible sessions and strict typing. Requires macOS 15.0+ (Sequoia) and appropriate system permissions.
