Get started with antgrid

antgrid is the command centre for the coding agents you already use. Setup is three steps — install the desktop app, open a project, connect your phone — and takes about five minutes. Free while in beta, no card required.

Before you start: bring a coding agent

antgrid drives a terminal coding agent — it doesn't ship one. Install at least one on the computer where you'll work and make sure it runs from a plain terminal:

• Claude Code (claude), Codex (codex), opencode, Cursor, or any other terminal agent.
• If it runs in a terminal, antgrid can run it. Your agent keeps its own account and API keys — antgrid never routes your prompts or code through its servers.

Step 1 — Install the desktop app

Everything runs inside one desktop app — your agents' terminals, files, git and browser preview. There's no separate CLI or background service to install.

Windows

Download for Windows fetches the Microsoft Store installer. Run it, then launch antgrid from the Start menu.

macOS

Download the .dmg, open it, drag antgrid into Applications, then launch it.

Linux

Download the AppImage, make it executable, then run it:

chmod +x antgrid-linux.AppImage
./antgrid-linux.AppImage

All desktop builds are published on our GitHub releases.

Launch the app and sign in — email magic link, GitHub, or Google. That account is what links your devices together.

Step 2 — Open your first project

1. In the desktop app, open the folder of a project you're working on.
2. Open a terminal in it and start your agent exactly how you do now — claude, codex, or whatever you use. antgrid wraps the real terminal, so nothing about your workflow changes.
3. antgrid recognises Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor and other common agents for session naming and notifications; anything else still runs as a plain terminal.

Step 3 — Connect your phone

The mobile apps are in beta — iOS via TestFlight, Android via Google Play internal testing. Email contact@radhaai.com for an invite.

1. Install the antgrid app on your phone and sign in with the same account. Your computer appears automatically — there's no pairing step or QR code.
2. On the computer, turn on the Remote switch — the Remote chip in antgrid's title bar. It's off by default on every machine and is the machine-wide gate for remote control. Free during the beta.
3. That's it. Live terminal output, files and sessions from anywhere, end-to-end encrypted — the relay only ever sees sealed bytes.

If something doesn't work

• Your computer doesn't show up on the phone — make sure antgrid is running on the computer, both devices are signed in to the same account, a project is open, and both are online.
• "Remote access is blocked" — the Remote switch on that computer is off. Turn it on in the title bar.
