FAQ
How is the desktop app different from the CLI?
Same idea, different surface. The CLI drives your agents from the terminal; the desktop app gives you a native macOS control plane for the same work, launching runs, watching turns, and handing off between models in a window instead of a shell.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS 12 or newer on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs, Windows, and Linux aren't supported by the desktop app. Use the CLI there.
Which agents does it support?
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi, and OpenCode. Agent Relay launches the agent CLIs installed on your machine, so you only see the ones you have.
Do I need to bring my own agent subscriptions?
Yes. Agent Relay is a control plane. Each agent authenticates with its own provider under your account. The app never handles those credentials.
Is it signed and notarized?
Yes. The app and its updates are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings and updates are verified before they're applied.
How do updates work?
Automatically, on the stable channel, without interrupting active work. See Updating.
Where is my data stored?
On your machine. Chats and session journals are local; nothing is uploaded to us. See Privacy.
Is it open source?
Releases are published publicly on GitHub.
