AI product readChrome bridge plugin for the Macro Commander desktop automation software, enabling the desktop app to control and automate web pages in Chrome
Allows users of Macro Commander desktop software to extend their automation macros to web pages and web applications in the Chrome browser, bridging desktop automation with web automation
User installs Macro Commander desktop software on their computer, installs this Chrome extension, then creates macros in Macro Commander that include web automation steps. The desktop software sends HTTP commands to the extension via localhost (127.0.0.1), the extension executes those commands on the active web page (clicking, typing, reading elements, navigating tabs), and sends results back to the desktop app.

- Target users
- Existing Macro Commander desktop software users who need web browser automation / Power users automating repetitive web-based data entry tasks / Users who need to integrate web page automation with desktop automation workflows
- The extension code is minified (comments stripped per readme.txt), making exact line-level reasoning harder, though the logic is fully traceable
- The pricing/licensing model of the companion Macro Commander desktop software is external and not fully verifiable from the extension alone
MonetizationNo paid features detected
The extension itself contains no payment logic, no subscription checks, no premium gating, no billing API calls, and no upgrade prompts. The 'pro' keyword hits in the static scan are false positives from minified code patterns (variable names like g_A, g_WTDT) and JSON metadata hashes. The extension is a free bridge plugin. The companion desktop software 'Macro Commander' (macro-commander.com / softutils.com) is likely a commercial product, but the extension does not gate any of its own functionality behind payment.

- Reason
- The extension contains no login UI, no authentication logic, no account creation flows, and no token/credential management. It is a local bridge plugin that communicates with the Macro Commander desktop software via localhost HTTP (127.0.0.1). No login keywords were found in any source file. The extension functions purely as a relay between the locally-installed desktop app and Chrome's DOM.
