Overview
Local-first browser task agent for persistent web tasks.
Standby keeps browser tasks running in the background — persistently, autonomously, and locally. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the local companion app: npm install -g standby-agent 2. Install this Chrome extension 3. Open the side panel and type a goal: "monitor my inbox" "track this product's price" 4. Standby observes the page, plans the next action, and executes it directly in your browser Each task runs in its own Chrome tab group. The local daemon checks tasks on a schedule and runs them when needed. If something goes wrong, Standby pauses and waits for you. WHAT YOU NEED - This Chrome extension Handles page observation and action execution - The local companion app "standby-agent" Handles task orchestration, scheduling, and model calls - An API key (bring your own) Supports Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint Both the extension and the companion app are required. The extension connects only to your local machine at 127.0.0.1
