Rill: use Claude Code and Codex from a Mac browser

Rill combines web browsing with agents running through your existing Claude Code or Codex account. You can send a task from the page you are reading, then continue browsing while an agent works. The publisher describes finding projects from the history of those coding tools and routing requests to the appropriate project.

Start with an existing agent account

The Rill download is a free beta for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. Its agent features require Claude Code 2.1.261 or later, or Codex CLI 0.144.4 or later. Rill says it uses the plan you already have, without a new Rill subscription or API keys. That does not remove the connected account's usage limits.

After installation, you sign in to either coding tool, or both, and use Command-E on a page to send a request. The connected Claude Code agent can work with repository files and commands; Rill adds the browser surface and project routing around that work. Ordinary browsing also works without an agent.

Read pages and compare tabs

Rill describes opening an answer beside the page and comparing up to six tabs in a table that quotes each source. Those features suit reading documentation or collecting evidence before changing a project. Its browsing history includes visited pages, requests and completed work, and the publisher says you can find a partly remembered page by describing it.

Project agents browse in their own tabs without your logins. A separate web task can use your signed-in browsing session, so the account access involved depends on the task. Keep the request bounded when it reaches a service where you can send messages or modify records.

Permissions and local browser data

The publisher says new tasks are read-only until you allow edits. It also describes stopping web tasks before paying, placing an order, sending, posting or deleting unless you expressly authorize the action. These are stated controls, not a hands-on security assessment by Franklin. Rill itself acknowledges that its prompt-injection precautions lower risk without eliminating it.

Rill says browsing history stays in files on your Mac and passwords use the Mac Keychain. Those storage statements should be considered separately from how the connected agent handles page content. Tab sorting and day summaries can be disabled in Settings. Before assigning sensitive work, review which feature is running and which signed-in account or project it can reach.
