is strawberry available on mac

Yes. Strawberry is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, free to download. Companions work in the browser locally, in your own session, not on a vendor's cloud machine.

which ai browser is best for privacy on mac

Strawberry runs the work locally in your own session: nothing hands a credential to a vendor cloud machine, message content is encrypted before it is stored, and ad and tracker blocking is on by default. Brave Leo is built around asking for as little data as the job allows. The full comparison is at Strawberry vs Brave Leo.

can an ai browser on mac do work for me automatically

Strawberry companions run multi-step tasks in your real accounts and repeat them on a schedule: a morning digest, a weekly report. What that looks like in practice is at real runs.

Four AI browsers on a Mac, sorted by what they finish

A companion opens the tabs, reads what your session can read, and hands the sheet back filled in. Nothing sends until you click.

TL;DR

Strawberry on macOS carries multi-step work through your logged-in accounts: 93 native integrations carrying 1,257 hand-written operations, 1,975 further apps connectable as accounts, and an approval card before every send, record change and payment.
On the same Mac, Dia is built around chatting with your tabs, Comet around Perplexity’s cited answers, and Brave Leo around data minimisation (as of this writing).
Chat-first browsers advise while you operate, so every click stays yours. A companion moves the work itself, which pays off the moment a task spans many tabs and signed-in tools.
A companion answers about the open page automatically, citing what it read as numbered source chips, then keeps going: the answer becomes rows in a sheet, a note on a record, a reply staged in your inbox.

Strawberry publishes this list and builds the agentic browser on it, which is why the descriptions run to specifics. On a Mac the question is what happens after the answer arrives: a companion opens the tabs, reads what your session reads, and hands back the sheet filled in, through 93 native integrations carrying 1,257 hand-written operations.

The Mac is where this category was born, so the field is crowded. Here is what each one was built around, and what happens on your machine once the answer exists.

What is each Mac option built for?

Product by product, as of this writing:

Dia is built around chatting with your tabs, with Skills and interface care that respects macOS conventions.
Comet is built on Perplexity's answer engine under a browser shell, shaped around asking about whatever you have open.
Brave Leo is built around data minimisation: page-level summaries and answers with no account required, inside a browser that blocks trackers by default.
Strawberry is built around agentic work in your accounts. A companion opens the tabs, does the clicking, and brings back finished work for approval; recurring jobs run on a schedule.

What separates chat-first from agentic on the same Mac?

Dia, Comet and Leo tell you about the page while every click stays yours. A companion moves the work itself. Screening candidates across LinkedIn and your ATS in the same session is one instruction rather than forty chats, and so is a prospect research pass before a call.

Sending, deleting and submitting stop on an approval card, and Ask Always mode in Settings → AI permissions tightens that to every action. The model is documented on the security page.

Coming to a Mac from Arc

Passwords, bookmarks and history import in minutes, and from there a companion runs the multi-tab jobs you were doing by hand. Arc's development slowed while The Browser Company shifted to Dia, as of this writing, which is how a lot of Mac users arrived here. That case is at the Arc alternative page, and SigmaOS users have a parallel path.

What each one costs to try

Strawberry is free to download with 2,000 credits a month included, no card. Paid plans start at $20/month once a companion is doing enough work to spend them, listed at pricing. Every browser on this list is free to try as of this writing, so the real cost is an afternoon per candidate.

The wider field, Windows-side options included, is at best agentic browsers.
