Plow Latch is a macOS utility that gives your AI agent real, hands-on control of your Mac—your browser, command line, files, and saved logins—while keeping your data local on your machine. Instead of your agent explaining the steps and handing them back to you, Latch lets it actually take those steps. You tell it the outcome you want; it handles the execution.
Download Latch, copy your Mac's MCP link, and paste it into any MCP-compatible agent. No complex configuration, no new agent to learn—your existing AI assistant gains system access almost instantly.
Your files, browser, and saved logins are already there. Latch lets your agent use them directly, and Plow keeps no copy—there is no Plow cloud database holding your data. It can even fill passwords without ever revealing them to the agent.
A hijacked page, email, or file can try to redirect your agent and siphon your data. Anything you haven't already allowed stops for a decision—yours, or the AI Reviewer's, judging it against the job you set. The reviewer treats whatever the agent wrote as data rather than instruction, and denies when it can't reach a verdict.
You watch every request and decision your agent makes. Nothing happens silently in the background—every action is visible, and you retain the final say over what your agent can and cannot do.
"Give your agent the Mac. Keep the keys."
That's the core philosophy: your agent gets real power, but you never lose ownership of your data or your decision-making authority. Most agent tools either sandbox the AI too heavily to be useful or hand over the keys entirely. Plow Latch threads that needle—your agent can act, but every meaningful action is gated by your approval or the AI Reviewer's judgment. The fact that passwords are filled without being revealed to the agent is a genuinely thoughtful touch that most similar tools don't offer.
Other tools you might consider
You're already using an MCP-compatible agent and feel frustrated that it can explain tasks but not finish them. If you want to hand your agent real jobs—booking, paying, scheduling, organizing—without uploading your personal data to yet another cloud service, Plow Latch is worth a serious look. It's also a strong fit if you're building agent-driven projects and want a community of like-minded hackers to compare setups with.
