Installation
Circuitry runs two ways: right in your web browser, or as a native desktop / iPad app. 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 and JavaScript 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.)
- Click "Get Started" or "Sign Up"
- Create your account with email or social login
- Verify your email address
- 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 unlock the full IDE:
- Full IDE — the complete Circuitry Studio, 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 and iPad, 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
- Full IDE from your iPad — pair a Circuitry Server and develop against your main computer from anywhere
- 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 Desktop App — 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 Server — pair a computer to Circuitry on your iPad, phone, 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:
- Go to Settings → Models and add a custom model — with your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) or a local model
- Pick your default model — the one Circuitry reaches for out of the box
- 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.
