1

Download the DMG

Click the button above to download JindAI-<version>.dmg for your Mac.

2

Open the installer

Double-click the DMG, then drag JindAI into your Applications folder.

First launch (Gatekeeper)

macOS will warn about an unidentified developer. Right-click JindAI → Open → click Open again. You only need to do this once.

4

Select your adapter & model

Click the adapter pill in the top bar, choose Select Adapter, then pick your AI provider and enter your API key when prompted.

⌨️JindAI CLI

The jindai-cli binary lets you control JindAI from any terminal — launch the app, switch adapters and models, or run sessions inline.

$ jindai-cli --help
 
# Launch the GUI window
$ jindai-cli /a
 
# Switch AI adapter
$ jindai-cli /adapter opencode
 
# Switch model
$ jindai-cli /model claude-sonnet-4-5
 
# Test the current connection
$ jindai-cli /test

Download the standalone CLI binary from the latest release page (jindai-cli-macos-arm64 or jindai-cli-macos-x86_64), then make it executable:

$ chmod +x ~/Downloads/jindai-cli-macos-arm64
$ sudo mv ~/Downloads/jindai-cli-macos-arm64 /usr/local/bin/jindai-cli

🛟FAQ

macOS says "JindAI cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"

This is a standard Gatekeeper warning for apps not yet in the Mac App Store. Right-click (or Control-click) JindAI.app → Open → click Open. After the first approval macOS remembers your choice.

The app opens but shows "No adapter loaded"

Click the adapter pill at the top → Select Adapter → choose your provider (OpenCode, Anthropic, etc.) and enter your API key. The setting is saved per terminal/session automatically.

How do I update JindAI?

Download the latest DMG from the Releases page and drag the new app into Applications, replacing the old one. Your settings and session history are preserved.

Where are my settings stored?

Settings are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/JindAI/. Per-terminal configs live in the terminals/ subdirectory. You can back up or copy this folder between machines.

Can I use JindAI without an internet connection?

JindAI requires a network connection to reach your AI provider's API. The app itself is fully local — no data is sent anywhere except your configured adapter endpoint.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Open an issue on the Issues page of this repository. Please include your macOS version, JindAI version, and steps to reproduce.
