Set up Thinair
and run your first task.

Get Thinair and open it.

Thinair for Mac, Windows and Cloud is available to everyone. Download Thinair for Mac or Windows, or open Thinair Cloud in your browser.

On your Mac

Download Thinair Native for an Apple silicon or Intel Mac running macOS 15 or later. Open the disk image, move Thinair to Applications, and launch it.

On first launch, Thinair downloads and prepares its local services. Keep your internet connection available and let setup finish before starting your first task.

If setup reports a failure, check the message in the setup window and use its retry action after addressing the cause.

On Windows

Download the installer for your PC’s processor, x64 or Arm, and run it. It installs for your own user account.

If your PC is not yet set up to run local virtual machines, Thinair opens Thinair Cloud and offers a one-time step to turn them on. A PC with an Arm processor works in Thinair Cloud.

In your browser

Open Thinair Cloud, then sign in or create an account. There is nothing to install. Your apps and agents run in Thinair Cloud.

The free plan includes 100 Cloud Machines and $10 of free credit after you verify your email. Cloud usage is paid from prepaid credits. An Organization needs a subscription and its own credit balance; your access depends on the permissions you have there.

See plans and Cloud usage pricing before you start.

Thinair picks where the software runs.

You don’t choose a computer before you start. In the Thinair app on your Mac or Windows PC, apps and agents run on your computer or in Linux on your computer. In your browser, they run in Thinair Cloud.

Each agent gets a computer of its own. The terminal, browser, and files it opens run there too, so they share its files, processes, and local services.

• Use the Thinair app when the work belongs with your own computer and its files.
• Use Thinair Cloud when the work needs separate resources or should keep running while your computer sleeps.

Open the agent you know.

Open Agent in your workspace, then select an available provider such as Codex or Claude Code.

If the provider needs a sign-in, follow its instructions in the Agent application.

Set the working directory for the task. If the code or files are somewhere else, make them available to the agent before asking it to change them.

You can also run installed command-line tools in Terminal. Thinair’s built-in Agent interface supports Codex and Claude Code.

Ask for something you can check.

Give the agent a clear outcome and a way to verify it. For an existing web repository, a first prompt could be:

Open Terminal, File Explorer, and a browser beside the agent as needed. The tools the agent opens share its files, processes, and local services.

Open what it made.

Read the changed files. Inspect the checks. Use the page in the browser. The workspace keeps those tools within reach, so the result is something you can work with.

Move frames by their title bars and arrange the workspace around the task. A Frame is the presentation of an application in your workspace.

When a setup becomes useful, describe it in a Machine Definition. That gives your next Machine a repeatable starting point.

A few names, made simple.

Native

Machine

Workspace

The canvas where you arrange applications and work with them.

Workbench

A layout of panes and tabs that stays on the device you are using.

Machine Definition

A reusable recipe for the software, skills, files, and setup a Machine needs.

Profile
