Cua provides Spaces, full virtual desktops shared between people and computer-use agents. Each Space streams to you as a live desktop where every agent gets its own cursor, so agents can use native apps and browsers while you step in for a decision and hand control back.

**Key features:**

- RCDP remote desktop protocol with a separate cursor for each person and agent.
- Spaces on your Mac as local VMs built with Lume, on Linux machines you own, or in your own cloud.
- Teleport moves an app's tabs, profile and sign-ins into a Space after you approve it.
- Session bundles sealed end to end to each Space's own key.
- Spaces start with permissions granted and tools installed.
- Claude Code, Codex and other agents connect through the Cua MCP.

The Cua Driver underneath, which lets agents use desktop apps on macOS, Windows and Linux without taking over your cursor, is MIT licensed and usable on its own. The Free plan needs no account and includes 2 live sessions and 20 remote hours a month. Pro is $15/month billed yearly, and Teams is $25 per seat a month billed yearly, adding shared computers and roles.
