AskCodi comes to Windows — and the app is free to use

The biggest release yet: AskCodi Desktop launches on Windows, the app is now free to use with no sign-in gate, and the whole workspace has been rebuilt around a manager shell — the app opens straight to your work, conversations read like a team channel with threads, and you can talk to an engineer directly from its task.

NOVO7
  • Windows launch: AskCodi Desktop now ships for Windows x64 — installer and portable builds, with auto-updates. (Builds are unsigned for now, so Windows SmartScreen asks once on first install: More info → Run anyway.)
  • Free to use: the app opens with no sign-in and no plan. Signing in with AskCodi exists for one reason — connecting the AskCodi gateway as a model source with its token balance.
  • The manager shell: the app opens straight to the product. One sidebar answers everything — your private 1:1 with Codi, Needs you (the only interrupt), project channels, Running (the whole fleet, including your own terminal sessions), Work (the cross-project ledger), and History.
  • Channels read like a team chat: your asks are the channel; every reply lands in that message's thread with participants, reply count, and last-reply time on the ask itself. Day dividers, member grammar, and working signals included.
  • Talk to the engineer from its task: open any task from Work and type — your message goes straight to that engineer in its own worktree, no Codi turn spent on a one-line nudge. Runs and reviews still flow through Codi.
  • Pick your harness once: onboarding is three steps — the CLI that types (Claude Code or Codex), the accounts that pay (logins, API keys, or AskCodi credits), and Codi's own model — with a live model catalog that knows what every connected source can serve.
  • Sign in with just a gateway key: paste an AskCodi API key and it is validated for real, persisted, and counted as a connected source — no browser round-trip required.
MELHORADO5
  • A naming counts as a tag: with one project, an untagged ask in the 1:1 resolves to it automatically — the 'Tag a project first' refusal only remains where scope is genuinely ambiguous.
  • One answer, one 'Read more': an engineer's continued runs used to render as a stack of clamped fragments; a task's reply stream now folds as a single block with a single Read more.
  • Uninstalling on Windows now offers to delete your local data (chats, projects, settings) — and defaults to keeping it, so updates and reinstalls never wipe anything.
  • Switching Codi's harness carries its model along instead of dead-ending, and every model picker orders newest first from the live catalog.
  • Open-source groundwork: the app is now Apache-2.0 licensed under the hood, with hardened OAuth, stricter renderer permissions, and a 40,000-line dead-code cleanup.
CORRIGIDO4
  • Orientation with only an AskCodi account connected could show 'thinking' for a few seconds and then go silent forever; the engine path now fails loudly and retries cleanly, and the whole class of malformed streaming tool-calls is gone.
  • The 'New Project' dialog (and every popup) now renders in the app's own theme — no more light-on-dark or black-on-black portals, on Windows or Mac.
  • Windows: the bundled Claude and Codex CLIs are found correctly (.exe, no executable-bit assumption), window controls are present, and the sign-in artwork renders.
  • A turn that ends mid-tool-call is now recorded as the failure it is — never as a silent success that leaves the session looking idle.
NOTAS DE VERSÃO

Why this release

0.0.86 is two launches in one. AskCodi Desktop is now on Windows, and the app is free to use — no sign-in wall, no plan, no trial clock. Download it, point it at a folder, and Codi runs your day. You sign in with AskCodi only if you want the AskCodi gateway as a model source; otherwise your Claude or Codex login does the paying, exactly as before.

The manager shell

The app now opens straight to the product. The sidebar is the whole map: your private 1:1 with Codi, Needs you — the only place anything interrupts you, channels for each project, Running for everything in flight (including terminal sessions you started outside the app), Work as the durable cross-project ledger, and History. Orientation runs as real tasks on the board, so a new project's first minutes look exactly like every hour after.

Conversations that read like a team

A project channel now works the way your team chat does: the channel shows the asks; every reply lands in that ask's thread — participants, reply count, last-reply time right on the message. Codi and its agents are members with faces and bylines, not log output. And in the 1:1, naming a project in plain words is a tag in everything but syntax.

Talk to the engineer, not through the switchboard

Open a task from Work and just type. Your message goes directly to that engineer, in its own worktree — no orchestrator turn, no extra tokens — for the one-line nudges that never needed a meeting. Reviews, merges, and dispatch still flow through Codi, and merging into your branch is still your click, always.

Windows notes

Builds are not yet code-signed, so the first install shows Windows SmartScreen — More info → Run anyway. Auto-updates work from this release forward, and uninstalling now asks whether to keep or delete your local data (keeping it is the default).

Get the app

macOS (Apple silicon) and Windows x64 are on the releases page. Existing Mac installs auto-update on next launch, or Settings → Updates → Check for updates.
