**Your AI teammates, at home on your desktop.**

Chat, collaborate, schedule recurring work, and watch your bots use a real computer.
Kindred brings your own model providers and connected apps into one workspace,
with shared documents and interactive artifacts you can keep working on together.

## Install

| Platform | Choose this download |
| --- | --- |
| Windows x64 | Windows Setup `.exe` |
| macOS Apple Silicon | `.dmg` |
| Linux x64 | `.AppImage`, or `.deb` for Debian/Ubuntu |

Open Kindred and connect to your server, or choose **Standalone** with Docker
running to host the server locally. Add your own provider account and create a bot.
The bot computer is persistent; you can watch it, take control, and hand it back.

Check the release notes for OS signing/notarization status and platform-specific
installation steps. Provider usage is billed by your provider, not included with Kindred.

Android and iOS companion apps are available as [preview source](mobile/README.md).
Android can be built locally; iOS still requires a Mac build and signing.

## Make it yours

- Give each bot a role, appearance and model.
- Bring bots together in group chats to delegate work and compare results.
- Build hosted reports, documents, sheets and interactive apps with your bots. Open them in Kindred or your browser.
- Collaborate with bots on shared artifacts, organize them into folders, and edit or download your work.
- Connect your apps, monitor activity and schedule one-time or recurring routines.
- Connect to an always-on server to keep routines running while your PC is off.
- Keep multiple accounts and servers in the same desktop app.
