Getting started

Install

Celiador runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later. Download the DMG (version 1.143.0 (build 168426)), open it, drag Celiador to Applications, and open it from there. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple: you'll see macOS's standard “downloaded from the internet” confirmation once, and nothing else. Every build we ship, with checksums, is on the releases page.

Windows and Linux are on the roadmap; the download page has a notify-me form for them.

Sign in

The first launch opens a welcome view with a Sign in button (it's also the account item in the status bar, and the command Celiador: Sign In). Pick email and password, a magic link, or GitHub. A magic link must be opened on the same Mac within ten minutes; it hands you straight back into the editor. Your account is what the hosted agent and the iPhone companion share.

The agent

Claude is built into the editor and runs through our server; there is no key to paste and no extension to install. The first chat downloads the agent runtime (about a minute), then three surfaces are yours:

Chat

⌃⌘I opens the chat view (or the chat icon in the title bar). Ask about the codebase, or ask for a change: the agent plans, edits across files, runs your tools, and every write is a diff you accept or reject. Attach files with #file: or Add Context; the active editor is forwarded automatically.

Inline edit

⌘I in a file edits the selection or the file in place and shows the result as inline hunks: ⌘Y keeps, ⌘N undoes. ⌘I in the terminal asks for a command and offers to run or insert it; it never runs on its own.

Agents window

Open Agents Window from the Command Palette is the cockpit: several runs side by side, each with its transcript, tool calls and diff. These are the same sessions the iPhone app watches.

iPhone companion

The companion app shows every run your editor is doing, live. You can send follow-ups, approve or deny a tool call, answer the agent's questions, cancel, browse and edit files of the session, review the diff, discard files, commit, push and open a pull request — without touching the laptop. “From your editor” lists the repositories your Mac has open, so a run can start from the phone on the local working copy; no cloning, no tokens. Distribution is through TestFlight; the link appears on the download page when it's live.

Workspace Trust

A repository can carry settings, tasks and agent hooks that execute code. Celiador keeps VS Code's Workspace Trust on: a folder you haven't trusted opens in Restricted Mode, where its settings are filtered and its tasks don't run, and the agent will not start in it until you trust it. Trust is per folder and you can review or revoke it at any time (Workspaces: Manage Workspace Trust).

Even in a trusted folder, the agent cannot change what the editor or the agent itself executes without your explicit approval: edits to .vscode/*.json, agent settings under .claude/, git hooks and similar files always prompt, in every permission mode, including after you approved a plan.

Limits

The hosted agent runs on our key with per-account limits that the server enforces and the app shows you in its account panel. The current numbers, live from the same endpoint:

Live from celiador.ai/api/limits. Why we publish them: the conduct pledge.

Updates

The app checks celiador.ai for a newer build on its own, downloads it in the background, and offers a restart; Celiador: Check for Updates does it on demand. Each build is notarized before it's published, and the changelog says what changed.

Your data

Your code stays on your machine; the agent reads what it needs for a request and nothing is indexed server-side. Your code is never used to train models. The server stores your account, chat history and push registrations so the phone and the editor see the same sessions; deleting your account removes all of it. Details in the privacy policy.
