eido

Eido keeps the conversation and the code in the same place. Describe what you want to achieve, give the agent the context it needs, and work through the result in your editor. Your task, proposed changes, and review decisions stay connected as you move between planning and implementation.

Eido 0.0.1 is the first stable-channel release for macOS. Download the app and try a focused task on a real project.

macOS 13 or later · Apple Silicon (M-series)

This release bundles the official, unmodified pi 1.3.0. Full Access uses pi's autonomous execution for enabled tools across tasks, including Code Mode and subagents. It adds OpenRouter model-list refresh, saved sharing preferences, current-value form defaults and improved tool restoration when resuming sessions. Extension-triggered runs now finish before their browser and task resources are cleaned up.

The Ultrafast browser agent, adapted in TypeScript from browser-use/jev-ultrafast, shares your main model for text input and retains its inspector, recording, verification tools and Legacy fallback. Browser and desktop automation remain experimental; background desktop input and focus isolation are not reliable across all applications.

The Eido experience

Start with the intent

Ask a question about unfamiliar code, describe a bug, or outline a feature. Use @ to bring relevant code into the conversation and keep the task grounded in your project.

Try a focused first task “Explain how this module works, identify the cause of this bug, and propose a small fix with a way to check it.”

Work alongside the agent

Read files, make your own edits, and review the agent’s progress without leaving the workspace. Choose the view that fits the moment:

Switching views preserves your conversation and draft, so you can change focus without losing your train of thought.

Make the changes yours

Inspect proposed changes in the native review interface and decide what to accept or reject. Proposed file deletions and binary changes remain in review until you accept them. Supported accepted file operations can be restored, subject to checks that protect subsequent edits.

Review is part of the workflow: understand the change, check the result, and keep what belongs in your project.

Return with context

Revisit earlier tasks with their conversations and review context. Continue interrupted work without starting the discussion from scratch. Eido also includes recovery support for task state and supported file operations.

Reach beyond the editor

Ask the agent to inspect a page or work with a desktop application alongside your code. Browser Use and Computer Use are available as experimental features, with enabled tools governed by your Agent Access choice. These workflows are still being refined across websites and applications.

Download and install

1. Download Eido-0.0.1-macos-arm64.dmg.
2. Open the disk image and drag Eido into Applications.
3. Launch Eido and configure your model and authentication in global settings.

This release is locally signed and has not been notarized by Apple. If macOS blocks the first launch, follow Apple's instructions for opening an app from an unidentified developer after checking the download source. Release assets include SHA-256 checksums and source archives.

Enable Computer Use on Mac

Enable Computer Use in Eido's global settings. The app includes its desktop driver; leave the driver path empty to use it.

In System Settings → Privacy & Security, allow Eido under both Accessibility and Screen & System Audio Recording (called Screen Recording on some macOS versions), then restart Eido. These permissions let the agent operate applications and capture their windows. Permission previously granted to a standalone Cua Driver does not apply to Eido. Eido currently requires these steps to be completed manually.

Your first task

1. Open a project Launch Eido from Applications and open a project folder. A small project with version history is a good place to begin.

2. Choose how you work Configure your model and authentication in global settings. Model, thinking, and Agent Access controls are available beside the conversation input.

3. Give the task a clear outcome Describe what should change and how you will know it works. Reference the relevant code, then let the agent investigate and propose a solution.

4. Review and verify Inspect the changes, run the relevant checks, and decide what to keep. Continue the conversation when the result needs refinement.

You set the level of access

Agent Access applies globally across tasks. Your configuration and work history are kept outside the application bundle and preserved during local updates. Model requests go to the provider you configure.

Release scope

The first stable-channel release focuses on the coding loop: describe → investigate → edit → review → verify.

Smart code assistance depends on the language support you configure. Coverage across projects and plugins continues to improve. Computer Use background input, focus isolation and more complex browser workflows remain experimental.

Help shape the next version

The most useful feedback starts with a real task. Open an issue, including:

• Your goal — what you were trying to accomplish.
• The friction — what you expected and what happened instead.
• A small example — steps to reproduce, a screenshot, or the relevant error text.
• The version — Eido 0.0.1, plus your macOS version.
