Drag it into Applications
Open Commandr-0.5.0-arm64.dmg and drag Commandr onto the Applications folder. Keep it there so it can update itself.
Allow it the first time
Apple hasn’t notarised Commandr yet, so macOS stops the first launch. Click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway and enter your Mac’s password.
Sign in
Commandr opens your browser so you can sign in with a free Commandr account, then takes you straight back to the app.

First launch

Then connect a model.

Paste an API key for DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter — or run a free local model with Ollama or LM Studio.

Commandr opens on a short checklist: connect a model, pick a folder for your projects, and hand off your first idea.

Cloud models

DeepSeek
OpenAI
Anthropic
Gemini
OpenRouter

Paste an API key in Settings → AI providers. Keys are stored encrypted on your Mac.

Local models, free

LM Studio

They show up by themselves while their server is running on your Mac.

If something goes wrong

There’s no Open Anyway button

It only appears after you’ve tried to open Commandr, and stays for about an hour. Double-click the app again, click Done, then look in Privacy & Security.

macOS says Commandr is damaged

Only copies older than v0.3.0 do this. Download the latest version, or run xattr -cr /Applications/Commandr.app once.

The update button says Download

Commandr can only update itself from a folder it can write to. Move it off the disk image and into Applications.

Does it work offline?

Your models can run locally with Ollama or LM Studio, but Commandr checks your account online, so it needs an internet connection.

Is there an Intel or Windows version?

Not yet. Commandr runs on Macs with Apple silicon.

How do I check the download?

Each release has a SHA256SUMS.txt. Run shasum -a 256 on the file and compare.
