System Requirements
Operating System
- macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer.
- Both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel CPUs are supported.
- Other platforms (Windows, Linux) are not currently shipped. The desktop client is macOS-only at this stage.
Some features are slightly different per CPU:
| Feature | Apple Silicon | Intel |
|---|---|---|
| Whisper STT | CPU or Metal backend | CPU backend |
| Kokoro TTS | Supported | Supported |
| Qwen TTS (MLX) | Supported | Not available |
| Computer Use | Supported | Supported |
Disk space
- Around 1 GB for the app itself.
- Plus a small profile directory that grows with use (memories, conversations, attachments). Typical usage stays under a few hundred MB until you accumulate a lot of media.
If you enable local model inference for embeddings or Whisper, model files add another ~150–400 MB depending on which variants you pull.
Network
- Outbound HTTPS to
https://evmrpc.0g.ai(0G chain RPC). - Outbound HTTPS to
https://router-api.0g.ai/v1/models(Router provider). - Outbound HTTPS to
https://indexer-storage-turbo.0g.aiif 0G Storage sync is enabled. - Outbound HTTPS to provider endpoints if you enable Advanced 0G providers (they each register their own URL on-chain).
- Outbound connections to Telegram / Discord / Slack / Feishu / WeChat APIs only if you enable those bridges.
- Outbound HTTPS to MCP servers you configure.
If you are behind a corporate proxy, configure it in Settings → Network. The client uses the system proxy by default.
Permissions
The first launch will not ask for any system permission. Permissions are granted on-demand the first time a feature needs them:
| Permission | When you'll be asked | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | First time you use Computer Use | The Swift daemon needs the AX API to click and type |
| Screen Recording | First time Computer Use takes a skyshot | Needed for full-fidelity screenshots of other apps |
| Microphone | First time you use voice input | Whisper STT capture |
| AppleEvents | First time a Computer Use action uses AppleScript | Mail, Calendar, Music app adapters |
| Notifications | First time the agent surfaces a proactive reminder | Partner Mode follow-ups |
You can review and revoke any of these in System Settings → Privacy & Security at any time.
Account prerequisites
- An email that can receive a verification code, or a Google account for OAuth sign-in.
- A wallet (created during onboarding or imported). The wallet address is bound to your profile; switching to a different wallet means creating a different profile.
Router mode pays from your 0G Compute Console balance (set up at https://pc.0g.ai/), not from your local wallet — so OG in the wallet isn't required for Router. You need OG in the wallet only when you fund a specific Advanced provider for on-chain inference, or when 0G Storage sync is enabled.
What is not required
To be explicit, you do not need any of the following to get started:
- A Chrome installation. Chrome is only needed if you want the browser extension.
- A Telegram / Discord / Slack / Feishu / WeChat account. Those are only needed for the respective bridges.
- Any MCP server. The agent works fine with its bundled tools and skills.
- A code signing certificate or developer account on your machine. The DMG is already signed and notarised.
