Building a voice-controlled Mac remote with Jev and Tailscale
The author uses Jev for decision-making, Computer Use, Browser Use and generative UI, then routes through Tailscale to hardware that bypasses macOS TCC approval.
I'm building a real voice-controlled remote for Mac. And I'm using JEV for almost everything. 🧠 Decision making — auto allow / deny actions 🖥️ Computer Use — interact with the Mac 🌐 Browser Use — navigate and control websites, much faster 🧩 Generative UI — dynamically generate forms and controls 🎙️ Voice Control — control the entire workflow remotely The problem is macOS TCC. When an agent triggers certain macOS permissions, you still need a real physical interaction. A Computer Use Agent can't simply click the approval button. That's intentional. Great security. Terrible for unattended Macs. So I added another layer: JEV → Tailscale → remote hardware → Mac The hardware can physically interact with the Mac when TCC requires it. So the agent doesn't just see my Mac. It can reason, decide, interact, browse, generate UI, and physically control it. All remotely. No sitting in front of the machine. That's the goal: A Mac that an AI agent can actually operate — unattended.
