For One Person
For a TeamInstall 
.
A desktop app. Your agent runs on your own computer.
Archie installs on a Mac or Windows computer.
Send This Page to YourselfmacOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Signed and notarized with Apple.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Windows warns you the first time: see what to click.
In beta until version 1.0. You can start free or buy a plan now.
Archie for Teams installs beside Archie with its own data and keys, so one computer can run both. Each has its own plan, bought separately. See what Teams does and costs.
Add your phone.
A remote control for the agent on your computer. It does most of what the desk does, except open your knowledge files or the rows inside a collection. See what the phone can do.
iOS 16.4 or later, from the App Store. Needs a plan or a live trial.
Android 7.0 or later. Needs a plan or a live trial. Installs from a file, so Android stops you twice.
Every screen Android shows, in order
Android double-checks apps from outside the Play Store. Nothing is wrong.
The button saves an .apk, Android’s version of a Mac .dmg. Chrome may warn that the file can harm your device; it says that of any app it doesn’t know. Nothing installs yet.
Tap the download notification, or find it in Downloads. Android’s own installer opens.
It says this source isn’t allowed to install apps. Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, and press back. That permission goes to your browser; you can turn it off after.
Let it. That’s Google checking an app it hasn’t seen before.
Open it and scan the code Archie shows on your computer. No account or password on the phone.
It isn’t in the Play Store because a company listing needs a D-U-N-S number, a business identifier that takes up to 28 days to issue, and we need one first.
Google is also extending these checks to apps installed from a file, in four countries on September 30, 2026 and everywhere else in 2027, so this route won’t last. What the app asks your phone for is in our privacy policy.
“Windows protected your PC”
Nothing is wrong with the file.
The box, and what to click
Why Windows says that
Windows trusts an app once its maker buys a code-signing certificate, and it charges for that trust. The warning means Windows doesn’t yet recognize who made Archie; it found nothing in the file.
We’re a small team, and that certificate is on the list for when we’re further along. Until we buy it, every Windows build we ship shows this screen.
How to check us yourself
The download link points at our public releases page on GitHub, which lists every build we’ve published and when.
On the Mac we do hold Apple’s developer certificate, so that build is signed and notarized: same team, same code, checked by Apple. Have both computers? Install the Mac one first and see for yourself.

“Google hasn’t verified this app”
Until Google verifies Archie, Google shows an unverified-app screen before its permission page. To go on, press Advanced, then the link to Otian AI, which Google marks unsafe until it has verified the app.
Your key stays in your computer’s password store.
The key to your AI account lives in the Keychain on a Mac or Credential Manager on Windows, and goes only to your AI company, each time your agent thinks. See every host Archie talks to.
On your own AI key, conversations go straight to your AI company from each agent’s next start. Our starter credits route them through our server to Anthropic, and we keep no copy.
Email and text reading are off on usage we pay for. See the records we do hold.
There is no analytics service in Archie. Three things go out, each with your account ID and none with anything you wrote.
Every six hours, its version and whether it runs on a Mac or Windows; after a crash, the tail of the crash log; and when something keeps failing, the error line.
You can turn them off in Settings, under Privacy.
We’ll walk you through the install.
If your screen doesn’t match this page, email us and we’ll get on a call.
