Choose a desktop platform, get access and decide where your agents should run.
Before you start
Code Overlord is invite-only. Use the public site's access flow, redeem your invitation and sign in. Complete any current agreement required by the download hub before selecting an installer.
Choose a platform
| Platform | Installation route |
|---|---|
| macOS | Select the download matching Apple Silicon or Intel, then follow the installer |
| Linux | Use the Debian/Ubuntu package from the download hub |
| Windows | Set up WSL 2 with Ubuntu, then install the Linux build inside Ubuntu; there is no current native Windows download |
| iOS / Android | Use the available companion download and pair it to the desktop |
Use the current download hub as the authority for available builds. Older reference screenshots or installation notes may mention previous packaging.
Start locally
- Install and open the desktop app.
- Open or create a
.code-workspacefile containing your repository. - Install the coding-agent CLI you want to use and sign in through that agent.
- Open Summon, choose Local and launch it in the repository directory.
- Ask it to describe the project before requesting edits.
Inspect this workspace and explain how to run its development server and relevant tests. Keep this first pass read-only.
Choose remote compute when needed
The documented plans include local Forge and paid Skyforge remote compute. Check Account & Sync for your actual entitlement, available features and current charges. Agent subscriptions, optional API-backed models and remote compute are separate considerations.
For long-running remote work, follow Run agents remotely. For phone access, follow Control agents from your phone.
Check the result
Confirm that the app opens the intended repository, the agent launches in its directory and its own login is active. Start with a local read-only task before adding remote execution or integrations.
