What does Context Desktop do?
Desktop connects Context to local files, browser tabs, and installed applications on macOS and Windows. It is in private preview.
Context Desktop brings agents to your computer: local files, browser tabs, and installed applications, with only the files, folders, and systems you authorize. Every action is recorded in the run trace, the same as in the web workspace, which remains where teams manage runbooks, traces, and settings.
Local tasks require the device to be online; scheduled work can continue remotely when your organization runs the Context runtime. Signed installers ship to approved preview teams. See Context Desktop.
