Set up Thinair
and run your first task.

Get access and open Thinair.

Thinair for Mac and Cloud is available by invitation. Open the personal link in your invitation email. It signs you in and activates access. No email entry or separate code is needed.

General release is planned for October 12, 2026.

On your Mac

Download Thinair Native for an Apple silicon or Intel Mac running macOS 26 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.

In your browser

Open Thinair Cloud and sign in with the email address on your invitation. No Mac installation is required. Choose your account, then select or launch a Cloud Machine.

Personal Cloud Machines require Pro and prepaid usage 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 launching a Cloud Machine.

Choose where the software runs.

In Thinair, a Machine is a computer. Your physical Mac is one. You can also launch a Linux Machine locally or use a Cloud Machine.

Start by choosing the Machine you intend to use. A terminal, agent, or browser belongs to a specific Machine, so make that choice before opening tools for the task.

• Use your Mac when the work belongs with its existing files and applications.
• Use a local Linux Machine when you want a separate prepared setup.
• Use Cloud when the work calls for separate resources.

Open the agent you know.

Open Agent in your workspace. Choose the Machine, 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. Availability and authentication are specific to the selected Machine.

Set the working directory for the task. If the code or files are somewhere else, make them available on that Machine before asking the agent 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. Keep them on the same Machine when they need to share 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

The installed Thinair application on your Mac.

Machine

A computer that runs your software. It can be physical, virtual, or in the cloud.

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

The configuration and credentials a Machine uses. Applications on that Machine inherit its active Profile.
