What Mac Developer Bridge does
Mac Developer Bridge turns a ChatGPT conversation into the reasoning layer for your actual Mac. It can run shell commands, edit files, start interactive terminal sessions, manage long-running jobs, read stored Codex threads without starting another Codex model turn, and optionally operate your real logged-in Chrome tabs in the background without stealing focus.
