Web vs Mac

What you're signing up for.

Both run the same product. The difference is where your data lives and how you pay for inference.

After your invite arrives

Up in 60 seconds.

Download the .dmg

Your invite email contains a signed download link. The file is ~8 MB and requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.

Open and drag to Applications

Double-click the .dmg, drag dequid.app to your Applications folder, then launch it.

Add an API key

Open Settings → Providers. Add your Anthropic, OpenAI, or other LLM service provider key. It's stored securely in the macOS Keychain.

Create your first personas

You start with five seed personas — Ari, Vax, Tark, Nack, Kana — each with its own voice. Tag your people, link your vault folders, exclude any memories that shouldn't apply. Switching personas swaps the entire scope.
