AI agents use expensive 4MB screenshots just to click a browser tab. Dockly 2.0 fixes this. For Humans: A sleek sidebar unifying tabs across all Chrome profiles. For AI: A local REST API that translates your browser into a 2KB JSON map to save 95% on token costs.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I originally built Dockly because I was losing my mind Alt-Tabbing across 5 different Chrome profiles. I wanted a raw, tactical side-panel that gave me absolute control over my workspace.
But as I built it, I realized AI developers are facing the exact same problem: AI agents (like Anthropic's Computer Use) rely on taking messy, massive screenshots of the desktop to try and find the right window. It costs a fortune in API fees and fails 25% of the time.
So, I turned Dockly into a Local API Gateway.
Now, instead of your AI agent taking a screenshot, it can just query Dockly's local port to get a perfect JSON map of every open window and profile, and use our Win32 overrides to instantly switch to them.
We're live today. Whether you're a developer trying to reclaim your focus, or an AI builder trying to slash your token costs—Dockly is for you.
I'll be in the comments all day to answer questions and get your feedback!
