For Claude Desktop & Claude Code · Mac

Give Claude a browser that does the whole task in one step.

Bolt shows Claude each web page as a short outline instead of a screenshot, and lets it open, click through, fill and read in a single call. Same tasks, about half the time and half the tokens.

Measured, not guessed

A real Claude agent, the whole task, every answer checked.

Bolt also used about half the tokens on every task (e.g. 43k vs 106k to fill a form). Same model, same Chrome, same instructions budget.

Why it's fast

Claude's time goes to thinking. Bolt cuts the number of times it has to.

Pages in a few hundred words

A news front page is about 1.8 KB in Bolt, versus 26 KB elsewhere. Less to read means faster, cheaper turns.

Act by name, many steps per call

Claude writes click "Orders"; read tables and Bolt finds the right thing. No hunting for buttons first.

Routines replay for free

Questions

Does Bolt use my everyday Chrome or my passwords?

No. Bolt runs its own Chrome profile, separate from yours. The first time a site needs a login, you sign in yourself in the Bolt window. Bolt never types passwords and never writes them to logs.

Where does my browsing data go?

Nowhere. Pages, logins, logs and saved routines stay on your Mac in ~/.bolt. The only thing Bolt sends anywhere is your license key, about once a week.

Will Claude click "Buy" or accept terms on its own?

No. Bolt tells Claude never to accept cookie banners, terms or purchases, never to solve CAPTCHAs and never to sign anything. It stops and asks you. Before submitting an official form, Claude checks the filled values first.

Claude already has a browser. Why pay for this?

Speed and cost. Built-in and free tools work step by step from screenshots or long page dumps. Bolt does the same jobs in fewer, smaller steps, so tasks finish sooner and use fewer of your Claude tokens.

Windows?

Not yet. Bolt runs on Mac (Apple silicon and Intel).

What if I get a new Mac?

Run bolt license remove on the old one, then add your key on the new one.
