Risk explanation
It can read screens, camera input, and local documents while also triggering macOS actions, so keep it on personal machines and review which actions are enabled before daily use; The fastest path depends on RunAnywhere's proprietary MetalRT engine and M3-or-newer hardware, so reproducibility and performance claims should be validated on your own Mac; Its fit is tightly Apple-Silicon-first, with M1 and M2 fallbacks and no equivalent Windows or Linux story today.
