Plow Latch — Run AI agents on your Mac with scoped access Runs AI agents directly on macOS.
About Plow Latch
Plow Latch is an AI productivity tool that runs AI agents directly on macOS, applying scoped access to limit what those agents are permitted to do.
The scoped access model is its distinguishing feature, setting explicit boundaries on the actions an AI agent can perform on a user's machine rather than granting open system access.
It fits macOS users who want to delegate tasks to AI agents locally and value tight permission controls. The trade-off is a narrow platform footprint: there is no documented support for Windows or Linux.
It occupies a niche within AI productivity tools aimed at local agent execution, where the question of what an agent may touch is treated as a first-class concern.
