Install Continuum on your Mac

Download the latest DMG from GitHub Releases, drag Continuum to Applications, and launch it. Updates arrive via Sparkle — signed and notarized.
Requires an Apple Silicon Mac. Prefer building from source? See Installation.

Let it find your CLIs

Continuum discovers the provider CLIs already on your machine — claude, codex, gemini (Antigravity), cursor-agent, grok, opencode — and lights up a gauge for each under the Usage tab. No CLI, no gauge; you need at least one provider installed and logged in.
# the usual suspects
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm install -g @openai/codex

Run your first session

Open the Code tab, pick a repo, and type into the composer. Continuum spawns the agent in an isolated git worktree (it gets a city name), streams the chat, and tracks the plan, diff, and PR alongside.Prefer a guardrail? Toggle Plan mode — the agent must present a plan you approve before it touches code. See Plan mode.

Pair your iPhone (optional, recommended)

Click Sync with iPhone in the Mac dashboard header and scan the QR code from the Continuum iOS app. From now on your sessions, gauges, and approvals travel with you — end-to-end encrypted. Details in Pairing.

Leave your desk

When a plan is ready or a session finishes, your iPhone and Watch know. Approve, refine, interrupt, or merge from wherever you are.
