Setting it up? Read the docs.

The Lobstack app: a bot’s plan waiting for approval, a change stopped at its diff, a design in a canvas tab with Point on one element, a bot’s browser handed over with Take Over, a routine as a recipe and a run moving through its steps, the terminal, and Approvals.

Install

Up and running in three steps.

  1. Windows macOS Linux
    01

    Download

    Pick your system above. Each button is the latest published installer.

  2. 02

    Open it

    Windows warns once: More info, then Run anyway. On macOS, press Done, then Open Anyway in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

  3. 03

    Sign in

    Your first sign-in from the app adds $5 of credit for 30 days. Then give a bot its first job.

What you get

An AI team that asks first.

Each clip is the app itself, in its demo workspace.

  • The Approvals page: a bot waits on a two-file diff with Approve and Deny.

    You approve every step

    Commands, file changes, pushes and messages wait for you, with the diff in front of you.

  • A job delegated to Repo Watcher: a three-step plan with Approve, Edit and Cancel, then approved.

    Delegate a whole job

    A bot writes a plan, you approve it, and it works in the background, then brings it back for review.

  • A design opened in a canvas tab beside the conversation, then Point on its button and a request for a change.

    A canvas beside the chat

    Open a document next to the conversation, compare versions, or ask for a change.

  • A board report PDF a bot made, opened on its revenue chart.

    Real files

    PDF and Word reports, slide decks and spreadsheets, kept in your Library.

  • A coding bot’s changes: the branch, three files, and the commit, push and pull request steps.

    Pull requests

    A coding bot commits, pushes and opens the pull request once you approve.

  • Ledger’s browser signing in to a bank portal, each click marked and listed as a step, then Take Over.

    Its browser, live

    Watch a bot browse beside its conversation, and take the page over whenever you want.

  • Settings, Memory: notes about you with their sources, then a search that finds a pricing decision.

    Memory on your computer

    Everything your bots remember, where each note came from, and a search across it.

  • A bot’s reasoning opened above its answer, then the Quick, Deliberate and Deep menu.

    Quick, Deliberate or Deep

    Choose how hard a bot thinks for each message, and read its reasoning.

  • Routines, the weekly lead run opened as a recipe, then a run of it moving through its steps.

    Routines and triggers

    Schedules, webhooks, GitHub, folders and web pages start work while you are away.

  • Runs by client, then one run opened on its steps and their cost.

    What every run cost

    Each run’s steps with their tokens and cost, totalled by client, ready to export.

  • Connectors: adding Notion shows what it gives a bot and one sign-in button.

    Your tools, one click

    GitHub, Slack, Notion and Linear with one-click sign-in, or any MCP server.

Private by default

It stays on your computer.

Prompts go to the model and connector traffic to its service. Everything else stays with you.

  • One folder on your disk

    Workspace, vault, sessions and logs stay on your computer.

  • Keys in your OS

    Encrypted, with the key in Credential Manager, Keychain or Secret Service.

  • No telemetry

    No analytics. A report leaves only when you press Send.

Questions

Is it free?

Free to download. Your first sign-in from the app adds $5 of credit for 30 days, and the Free plan adds $1 every week, topped back up each Monday. Or use a paid plan.

Do I have to use the Lobstack API?

No. It uses the Lobstack API by default, with a receipt for every call. GitHub Copilot or your own provider key also work, and neither needs a Lobstack account.

Where does my data go?

Your computer. Workspace, vault, sessions and logs: one folder on your disk. Prompts go to the model, connector traffic to its service. No telemetry or analytics; a report only when you press Send.

How are credentials stored?

Encrypted, with the key in your operating system’s credential store: Credential Manager, Keychain or Secret Service. Secrets never enter the database, and values are redacted as they are written.

Is it finished?

It is a public beta. Nothing is code-signed yet, so Windows warns on the first run and macOS needs Open Anyway in Privacy & Security once.

Get Lobstack.
