Active·★ 18·MIT·Updated 2026-08-09
Taprun is an AI-powered action layer that allows agents to drive your own logged-in browser for complex web interactions that clean APIs cannot reach. It compiles web interactions into deterministic .plan.json programs once, enabling subsequent replays at zero LLM tokens and ensuring local-first execution for privacy and security.

Features
01AI compiles web actions once into a deterministic plan, allowing infinite replays without consuming LLM tokens.
02Local-first architecture ensures cookies, login sessions, and data remain on your machine for enhanced privacy.
03Provides deterministic replay with `tap verify` to detect silent failures and drift over time.
04Seamlessly integrates with popular AI coding agents and IDEs like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code.

Use cases
↳Extract data from any website, including login-gated or complex pages (e.g., trending lists, search results).
↳Automate operations on websites, such as publishing content or interacting with forms (e.g., posting on social media).
↳Monitor website changes and detect drift, scheduling checks via cron or launchd.
↳Generate new automations (taps) on demand using AI from a URL and natural language intent.
