Pick where your agent and browser should run.

​
On your computer

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes Agent, or another local agent can run the Browser Use CLI on your computer. Local computer-use CLIs such as Playwright CLI and Agent Browser fit the same shape. They can control real Chrome, with its tabs and logins, or use the single hosted browser shown in our cloud. Start with real Chrome. Connect to our cloud when a site blocks you or you need many browsers at once. Run browser-use auth login once before the first cloud connection. Profile Sync copies selected cookies from real Chrome into a cloud profile. Run it explicitly for the accounts you want to use in the cloud; the dashed line does not mean automatic synchronization.

​
In our cloud

Cloud v4 runs OpenCode, Browser Use CLI and Cloud Browser. You send a prompt to our API and get the result back, plus a live preview and any files it produced. Nothing runs on your computer. Use the full hosted stack for scheduled work, tasks your users trigger, and work that should keep running without your computer.

​
Only the browser

Use the Browser API when you only need the hosted browser. Browser Use CLI or a custom computer-use CLI can connect to the same Cloud Browser from your computer or your own cloud; Browser API does not add a hosted agent. One API key from cloud.browser-use.com/settings works for all three. Credits and profiles live in the same project.
