Get Embodent for Mac

For Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later). The app includes the local runtime; you don’t need Docker or Homebrew for this setup.

1. Open the download. Open the DMG and move Embodent to Applications.
2. Open Embodent. Follow the setup prompts and choose your project folder.
3. Connect your agents. Use an installed and signed-in Claude Code or Codex. Each provider’s access and billing terms apply.

Need a coding agent first? See Claude Code setup or Codex CLI setup.

Your first project

Choose a folder and describe the outcome you want. Create your agent team, then use a workflow to organize the work. Give each task an outcome, an assignee and the approval setting you want.

Prefer the terminal?

The command-line tool keeps its name: orcha. For the current terminal installation and upgrade steps on macOS, use the source guide.

The terminal guide installs the current development version from main; it is separate from the Mac release above. The older Homebrew package predates the current local runtime. Don’t use it for a new setup.

Stop and come back later

In your project folder, stop the local service while keeping your project history:

orcha down

Start the same project again when you return:

orcha up

A configured macOS login service can start the project again at your next login. Stopping a service is different from putting a workflow on hold.

Keep a backup before resetting

Resetting a project can erase its tasks, agents and history. It is separate from ordinary stopping. Make a backup first and keep the backup files together.
