Quick start

Install the app, configure your first model, and send your first message.

  1. Download and install

    Pick the macOS, Windows, or Linux package on the home page. If downloads are not yet available, check back for updates.

  2. First launch

    The left sidebar lists main areas; the center shows the active page. We recommend opening Settings to configure a model first.

  3. Configure a model provider

    In Settings → Models, add an OpenAI-compatible endpoint: Base URL, API key, and model name. You can add multiple providers and set a default. Use Test to verify connectivity.

  4. Send your first message

    Open Chat, create a session, choose an agent, and type in the composer. Replies stream in real time.

Tip

API keys are stored on your device and are not uploaded to a HiRocky cloud by default.
