Download the desktop app from the Kisuke downloads page. Choose your operating system and processor under For desktop, then follow the steps below. Already installed? Continue with desktop setup to sign in, set up Connect, and connect an AI provider.

​
Choose and install your desktop app

Open the Apple menu → About This Mac. A Chip entry identifies Apple silicon; a Processor entry naming Intel identifies an Intel Mac. See Apple’s processor identification guide.
  1. Select the matching macOS download and wait for the .dmg file to finish downloading.
  2. Open the downloaded disk image.
  3. Drag Kisuke onto Applications in the installer window.
  4. Open Kisuke from Applications. After copying the app, you can eject the installer disk image in Finder.
Continue with desktop setup. If macOS prevents the app from opening, read the exact message and use the recovery guidance below.

​
Set up your first workspace

Installing the app is the first step. The setup guide takes you through your Kisuke account, Connect on this computer, and provider access. After setup:
  1. Open a project and check its computer and working folder.
  2. Enter Zen mode to keep the conversation and supporting tools together.
  3. Choose an available model from a connected provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
  4. Ask for a small read-only explanation of the project before requesting changes.

​
Use Kisuke on a phone or in a browser

The downloads page also has For mobile and For web sections. Use its current iOS or Android link to install the mobile app, or its web link to open the browser client. To work with a computer’s project from either client, prepare that computer and follow Connect devices and pair your phone. Installing a client does not make a project computer available by itself.

​
Need Connect on a server?

The For servers section provides the Kisuke Connect command-line installation. Use that section for a server setup. For the desktop workspace described in these guides, choose a desktop installer above and follow the app’s Connect setup.

​
Resolve an installation problem

Return to the downloads page and select the current package for your operating system and processor. Check your browser’s downloads list for the failed item and its error.If the link returns 403 Forbidden, Not found, or another server error, keep the selected package name, error, and time. Report the failing link through the Kisuke community. A visible download button does not confirm that a file finished downloading.
Check the operating system and processor choice, confirm the download completed, and read the full message. A wrong architecture, incomplete file, dependency problem, or security warning requires a different next step.Use the official downloads page to obtain the package. For a publisher or security warning, retain the exact wording and ask for help before changing security settings. Include your OS version and the installer filename when reporting the problem.On Linux, check the package installer’s dependency error or the AppImage’s execute permission. Making an AppImage executable does not resolve a missing system dependency.
Continue with the failed stage in desktop setup. Signing in, making Connect ready, and connecting a model provider are separate steps.If the workspace opens but a prompt cannot start, use Troubleshoot a first message. Keep the displayed error and selected provider and model. Review screenshots and logs for account information or private paths before sharing them.
