NeuroSquad for Windows and macOS
A free desktop app with a free NeuroSquad account. It runs the agent CLIs on your own machine, with your own subscriptions and keys — your code and files stay there.
NeuroSquad for Windows
The 160 KB web installer fetches the newest NeuroSquad (about 100 MB), checks its SHA-256 checksum and opens setup. The default folder needs no administrator rights.
Install from a terminal
The same installer, unattended: for your Windows account, no administrator rights. Each way checks the download against its SHA-256 checksum.

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”. Click “More info”, check that the app is NeuroSquad-Installer.exe, then “Run anyway”.
NeuroSquad for macOS
One build for Apple silicon and one for Intel Macs. Not sure which Mac you have? Apple menu → About This Mac: “Chip: Apple M…” is Apple silicon, “Processor: Intel” is Intel.
Picks the build for your Mac, checks its SHA-256 checksum, puts NeuroSquad into Applications and opens it — no first-launch question.
curl -fsSL https://neurosquad.ai/install.sh | bashOur own tap: the same build for your chip, checksum-verified, ready to open. NeuroSquad then keeps itself up to date.
brew install --cask glmn-ai/neurosquad/neurosquadNeuroSquad is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The first time you open it, macOS asks its usual question — “NeuroSquad” is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? — and notes that Apple checked it for malicious software. Click Open; macOS won’t ask again.
Installing from Terminal or with Homebrew, and the app’s own updates, skip even this question.
What happens next
- 01Install
On Windows, run NeuroSquad-Installer.exe or one of the terminal commands. On a Mac, open the .dmg and drag NeuroSquad into Applications — or install it from Terminal or with Homebrew.
- 02The first launch
The Mac app is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS only asks its usual question about an app from the Internet. The Windows installer isn’t code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you once. The note in your system’s block above says exactly what to click.
- 03Sign in, then set up
The app opens your browser to sign in to NeuroSquad — with an email code, Google or GitHub, on the free plan. Then a wizard offers to install an agent CLI, Git and the dictation model; each of those steps can be skipped.
- 04Open a folder, add an agent
A workspace is a project folder — on this computer, in WSL or over SSH. Add an agent card, draw an arrow to a browser or a terminal, and give it a task.
The getting-started guide walks you through the window, your first workspace and your first agent.
