Desktop app

The brindle desktop app for macOS: a window over the same sessions as the CLI. Free, with Pro features gated as in the CLI.

What it is

The desktop app shows your brindle sessions, workers and inbox in a window. It runs on the same local daemon as the command line, so a session started in one can be used from the other. Nothing about how work runs changes: workers still run in their own worktrees and branches, and merges still wait for review and your checks.

Requirements

  • macOS.
  • tmux and uv installed. The app checks for them on first run.
  • A Pro plan for the Pro features, the same as in the CLI. The app itself is free.

The CLI keeps working

The app does not replace brindle. Everything the command line does still works, and the two can run side by side on the same repo.
