<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.1q">Is my own Mac safe?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.1a">The agent only ever operates the virtual Mac. It sees your files only if you attach them or share a folder, and shared folders are read-only unless you allow writing. The VM talks to the app over a private virtual socket, not the network.</p></details>
<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.2q">What does the model see?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.2a">Screenshots of the virtual Mac and the text of your task go to the model provider you choose. Your API key and the virtual Mac's password never do.</p></details>
<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.3q">What does it cost?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.3a">The app is free and open source. You pay your model provider: a typical task uses 50–150 thousand input tokens, most of them served from the provider's cache.</p></details>
<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.4q">Can I watch or stop it?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.4a">You see every step in the chat and on the screen. Pause, cancel, or click the virtual Mac to take over; the agent stops sending input at once.</p></details>
<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.5q">Why macOS 27 only?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.5a">It relies on virtualization features new in macOS 27: automatic account setup, layered disks for instant snapshots, and live folder sharing.</p></details>
<details class="reveal"><summary data-i18n="faq.6q">Can I use it for work?</summary><p data-i18n="faq.6a">Apple's macOS licence limits what virtual machines may be used for. Until that is settled, Chat Computer is meant for personal, non-commercial use, development and testing.</p></details>
