Manus just dropped My Computer, and it’s a massive privacy alarm bell for desktop users.
This isn’t genuinely “local”—your information still takes a one-way trip to Meta’s cloud. The app can execute commands and handle files on your device, but the actual intelligence (planning, reasoning, choosing the next step) lives entirely on Meta’s servers.
So your directory layout, file names, bits of document text, screen captures, terminal output—basically the context the AI needs to operate—gets continuously sent upstream to Meta so it can do its thinking.
Today, we're taking Manus out of the cloud and putting it on your desktop.
Introducing My Computer, the core feature of the new Manus Desktop app. It’s your AI agent, now on your local machine.
