Description
I got tired of paying Claude to click buttons for me. Every browser task meant spinning up an agent, burning tokens, and eating up my memory. So I built one instead. Tomato is a Mac browser on Chromium. Press Option Space, or just say "Hey Tomato", and talk to it. It plans, clicks and types across your tabs, and it stops to ask before it sends anything. The model runs on your Mac, so your pages never leave it. Bring your own Claude or ChatGPT key if you'd rather. It's free. Actually free!

Could you build this?
No Custom Chromium browser integration coupled with localized agentic vision/action control and voice-activation requires deep systems engineering and advanced local model optimization.
What it would actually take: This requires modifying Chromium source or writing a native Mac shell around CEF/Chromium with an embedded local vision-language model (e.g., via llama.cpp or MLX for Apple Silicon) and wake-word audio processing. The critical challenges are real-time DOM/vision screen grounding, low-latency local model inference on user hardware without freezing UI, and reliable autonomous browser automation.
