Quickstart
Download the Sync app, open your repository, and run your first agent session.
The fastest way to use Sync is the desktop app. It sets everything up for you — connecting your editor and managing your knowledge base in the background.
Download the app
Grab the latest build for your platform:
- macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Windows
- Linux — AppImage · .deb
On first launch, the Welcome wizard connects Sync to your editors (Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, Codex, OpenCode) automatically.
Open your repository
Point Sync at a git repository. It sets up a knowledge base for the project and starts tracking which documents describe which parts of your code.
Run your agent
Launch your agent in the built-in terminal. It already knows what you're looking at — click a spec, type "implement this," and it resolves to that spec. As it works it reads the relevant decisions and constraints first, asks when something is ambiguous, and records what it decides.
Review and steer
Answer the agent's questions, review the knowledge it writes, and browse the roadmap — all in the app. When code changes, Sync flags the affected documents stale so the next session starts from a fresh baseline.
Prefer the terminal, or automating in CI? Sync is also a CLI and an MCP server in the same binary — see Advanced.

Introduction
Sync is a desktop app and knowledge layer for AI coding agents. Your agent reads and writes structured docs in your repo — and every document tells you, and the agent, the moment it goes stale.
Connect your agent
The Sync app connects your editor automatically. Here's how to wire it up by hand if you need to.
