Browser connection

Turn on Browser → Google Chrome, install the Qoder browser extension from the page, and connect it in the browser. If several browser instances are connected, select the one for the current session in browser connection details.
External browser connections are available only in the Qoder CN desktop app and support Chromium browsers.

Desktop applications

In the conversation, identify the target app, allowed scope, and completion criteria. When Qoder CN starts Computer Use, grant accessibility or screen-recording access if prompted. Prefer an API, CLI, or dedicated connector when available; use graphical control only when the task requires it.

Record & Replay

Tell Qoder CN which workflow to record, including its starting point and expected result. Approve the recording request, demonstrate the workflow with the floating controls, and save it. Qoder CN then turns the workflow into a Skill. This feature currently requires macOS 14 or later.
Page, window, and screenshot content enters Agent context. Close sensitive windows, avoid real credentials during recording, and do not operate the same app while the Agent controls it.
