Requirements and release status¶

macOS requirements¶

The current public release requires:

macOS 13 or newer
an Apple silicon Mac
a project folder you can access from your macOS user account

Install on macOS¶

Open the ködade Releases page.
Download the macOS Apple-silicon .dmg from the latest release.
Open the DMG and drag kodade.app into Applications.
Open ködade from Applications.

Use only a release downloaded from the public repository. See Troubleshooting if the app does not open.

Other platforms¶

Windows has no current release package.
Linux support is planned; no release date has been set.

Agent CLI requirements¶

An agent CLI is optional for using the terminal, but required for agent work. Install and authenticate each CLI separately using its provider's instructions. The executable must be available through your login shell's PATH.

KödChat currently supports Claude Code and Codex. ködade also detects Grok, OpenCode, and Ollama for terminal use. The check reports whether each executable returns version information; it does not install a CLI, update it, or confirm that its account authentication is valid. See Agent CLIs for the exact workflow.
