Synti is a native desktop app you download and install on your own machine. This page covers the supported platforms, how to install using either the official installers or the install script, and what to expect on first launch.
Synti is a commercial, proprietary application. You install it from official installers (.dmg, .exe, or Linux AppImage) or the install script — there is no public source repository to clone.

Platform requirements

The current release line does not ship an Intel (x86_64) macOS build — Synti requires an Apple Silicon Mac. On Linux, the AppImage needs FUSE to run.

Install with the script

The quickest way to install and stay up to date is the install script. It downloads the correct build for your platform and puts Synti in the right place.

Install manually

Prefer to download and run the installer yourself? Choose your platform below.
1

Download the disk image

Get the Apple Silicon .dmg from the download page.
2

Install the app

Open the .dmg and drag Synti into your Applications folder.
3

Launch it

Open Synti from Applications or Spotlight. The first time you open it, macOS may ask you to confirm — Synti is signed and notarized under the bundle id co.synti.app.

First launch

The first time Synti opens, a setup wizard walks you through the initial configuration:
  • Connect a model provider. Anthropic is the default; you can also connect OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, xAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Provider credentials are encrypted on disk.
  • Create your first workspace. Workspaces isolate conversations, sources, and settings for different projects.
  • Set a working directory (optional). Point the agent at a project folder so it can read and edit files right away — see Working directory.
Everything Synti stores locally — configuration, encrypted credentials, and conversation history — lives under ~/.synti.
Once you’re set up, start with a read-only Explore conversation to get a feel for how the agent works before granting it edit or execute access.
