Installation

Circuitry runs two ways: right in your web browser, or as a native app — desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), iPad, iPhone and Android. Start in the browser in seconds — then move to the app when you want the full IDE, your local files, and on-device processing.

Use it in your browser (Free & Hobby)

No installation needed. The full visual workspace — whiteboard, workflows, design, sheets, notebooks, chat and more — runs in your browser. You can write and run code, too: Python, JavaScript and TypeScript in workflow code nodes and codebook cells, and HTML/JS in the web designer. (The full code IDE — editing files straight off your own disk — comes with the app, below.)

  1. Click "Get Started" or "Sign Up"
  2. Create your account with email or social login
  3. Verify your email address
  4. From your dashboard, click Launch Circuitry in browser — and you're building!
  • Free — the full visual workspace in your browser, with unlimited in-editor workflow runs. No card needed.
  • Hobby — everything in Free, plus cloud AI and the ability to deploy agentic workflow automation to the cloud.

Get the app (Personal, Pro & Business)

Some things only a native app can do — and they are the difference between editing in a tab and working on your own machine:

  • The whole studio — Circuitry Studio itself, no browser tab required
  • Local files & projects — open and edit straight from your own disk
  • On-device file & image processing — run pipelines on your own machine
  • On-device AI — Apple Intelligence on Mac, iPad and iPhone, right in your workflows
  • Local LLMs & custom models — run open models on your own hardware, or connect any custom or self-hosted model
  • Terminals — real shells on your own machine
  • Command-line coding assistants — built into the editor and linked to your Circuitry documents over MCP, giving each a two-way visual interface to your workflows, designs and docs:
    • Claude Code
    • Gemini CLI
    • Codex CLI
  • Develop from a tablet or phone — pair an iPad, iPhone or Android device with a Circuit and develop against your own computer from anywhere: its terminals, its compilers, and command-line coding agents running on that machine
  • Native Python & GPU — reach the compute on your own hardware across your network
  • Compute clusters — pair several machines so one workflow can run nodes in parallel, each executing code or AI on a different machine

These are included with the Personal, Pro, and Business plans.

Where to download

Sign in to your account, then open your dashboard and click the Downloads card. (Downloads are available once you're on the Personal plan or above.) There you'll find:

  • Circuitry Studio — macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows (x64 & ARM64), and Linux (.deb / .rpm / AppImage)
  • Circuitry for iPad — coming soon to the App Store; apply for early access through TestFlight in the meantime
  • Circuitry for iPhone & Android — the same studio, laid out for one thumb; in beta, and you can apply for a build from the Downloads page
  • Circuit — pair a computer to Circuitry on your iPad, iPhone, Android device or laptop for native execution, files, and terminals across your devices — or cluster several machines for parallel runs and extra CPU/GPU

Installing the desktop app

  • macOS — open the DMG, drag Circuitry to your Applications folder, then launch it. The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple.
  • Windows — run the installer and follow the wizard.
  • Linux — install the .deb or .rpm with your package manager, or make the AppImage executable and run it.

Choosing your AI model

Circuitry works with many AI models, and you can add your own:

  1. Go to Settings → Models and add a custom model — with your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) or a local model
  2. Pick your default model — the one Circuitry reaches for out of the box
  3. Switch models anytime from the model selectors throughout Circuitry

Models vary in capability, speed, and cost, so it pays to experiment: when results aren't as good as you expect, try a different model. Circuitry is the perfect environment for this — swap models across your work and dial in the right balance of quality, performance, and cost.
