What lives here
- Updates — Cowork checks for updates automatically and can install them in the background; this is where you’d check your current version or trigger a manual check.
- System tray — Cowork runs in your system tray so it can keep routines and background sessions going without a window open. Close the window and Dume keeps running; quit from the tray icon to actually exit.
- Sleep prevention — a toggle to keep your machine from sleeping while Dume is actively working on something, useful for a long-running local routine or task you don’t want interrupted.
- System permissions — macOS and Windows both gate microphone access (for voice mode and dictation) and other OS-level permissions behind explicit consent; this is where Cowork surfaces those prompts and lets you jump to system preferences if you denied one by accident.
- Chrome profile access — if you use the agent-browser skill for browser automation, Cowork can optionally reuse your existing Chrome profile and its logged-in sessions instead of starting from a blank browser. This requires your explicit consent and is off by default.
