Bloks vs Meta Muse

Muse is Meta's personal agent: it runs errands on a cloud computer of its own, and you reach it from a phone app, the web or WhatsApp. Bloks is a desktop app your agents live in, on your own computer, running the AI you choose.

Your computer, or Meta's cloud

Bloks

Bloks runs on your computer. Agents, conversations and memory are plain files in a folder you can open, and each agent runs on the engine you pick: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Devin, a local model through Ollama, and more.

When work should go on with the laptop closed, a workspace can run on a server of yours with bloks-server, or on managed hosting, a private machine of your own that stays on.

Meta Muse

Muse gives each person a cloud Linux computer of their own, with a browser, files and a terminal, on Meta's infrastructure. Long tasks carry on after you close the app, and it can work on a schedule or react to events in the background.

It runs on Meta's own model, Muse Spark, and needs a Meta account. Meta has announced a Confidential VM, with keys only you hold, for later in 2026.

Approvals and undo

Bloks

An agent in Bloks asks before it acts, unless you tell it not to, and you can write a rule in a sentence ("never push to main"). In its browser, a password, a card number or a file upload always asks you. Every change it makes to your files can be undone, and a conversation can be rewound or branched from any answer.

Meta Muse

Muse's approval design is careful. A separate agent called Sentinel is the only one that can let traffic out or act through a connector, and it allows, refuses or asks you, with grants from one time to permanent. The agent itself only sees stand-in tokens; real credentials are added at the network edge. Purchases go through single-use cards from Link by Stripe.

An undo for what it did is not published, though its computer is backed up continuously and can be restored.

Privacy and training

BloksBetter

Bloks has no backend that holds your data. Conversations, memory and files stay on your computer, the app sends no analytics, and the few requests it makes on its own are listed in its README. With Bloks Cloud, traffic between your devices and your computer is sealed end to end. The engine you choose has its own terms for what it sees.

Meta Muse

Muse keeps your data in your cloud computer on Meta's servers, and says it does not share conversations or that data with Meta's ad systems. Training on your interactions is on by default; you can switch it off in Data controls, and that covers past interactions too. How long data is kept is not published.

Where Muse is ahead

Bloks

Bloks has an iPhone and Apple Watch app, and Bloks for Android is coming. It reaches WhatsApp by carrying a room into a group, not as a contact you message. Its agents pause when your computer is off, unless they run on a server of yours or on managed hosting.

Meta MuseBetter

Muse is on iPhone, Android, the web and WhatsApp, with a voice mode, and needs nothing on a computer. Its cloud computer keeps working with all your devices off, from the free tier up. For errands that end in a purchase, its single-use cards are a thoughtful touch. If that is what you want from an agent, it is a real reason to choose it.
