Download WidelCode for Mac

WidelAI's native coding agent works on your actual project, using the tools installed on your Mac. Free to download. Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, plus an active plan to generate responses.

Universal

Recommended

Runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Choose this if you are not sure which processor you have.

Download for macOSUniversal

Not sure which you have? Open the Apple menu, choose About This Mac, and look at the Chip or Processor line. Anything starting with M is Apple silicon.

Working in a terminal or an editor instead? Get the CLI and the VS Code extension.

What WidelCode adds

Everything the web workspace does, plus the things only a native app with access to your machine can do.

  • A coding agent on your machine

    It reads and edits the files in the project you point it at, and runs commands in your own shell — not in a container that cannot see your setup.

  • Revert anything it does

    Every run is checkpointed. Undo a single edit or roll the whole session back if the agent took a wrong turn.

  • Review before you keep it

    Changes arrive as diffs you read, file by file, rather than as edits that already happened.

  • Switch models mid-conversation

    Ask the same question of two models in one thread. Where strong models disagree is usually where the problem actually is.

  • Several projects at once

    Keep separate coding sessions open per project, each with its own history and workspace.

  • Session kept in the Keychain

    Your sign-in is stored in the macOS Keychain rather than a plain file, and never leaves the Mac it was created on.

Installing it

  1. 1

    Open the disk image

    Double-click the downloaded .dmg, then drag the WidelCode app into your Applications folder.

  2. 2

    Launch it

    The app is signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. You will not see a “damaged and can’t be opened” warning, and you should never need to right-click to bypass Gatekeeper — if you do, the file did not come from us.

  3. 3

    Sign in

    Use the same account you use on the web. Your conversations are already there.

  4. 4

    Point it at a project

    Open a folder to give the coding agent a workspace. It can only read and write inside the folder you choose.

What it can reach, and what it cannot

The coding agent edits files and runs commands, so being straight about its limits matters more here than in a browser tab.

  • It works inside the folder you open, and refuses paths that escape it.

  • Edits are shown as diffs before you accept them, and every run can be reverted.

  • Your prompts, files, and outputs are never used to train AI models. Content goes to the model provider you pick, to answer your request, and nowhere else.

  • Your session lives in the macOS Keychain, marked so it never syncs or migrates to another Mac.

  • Updates are signed and verified against our Developer ID before they install. A build that fails that check is refused and the working copy is left alone.

Answers are produced by AI models and can be wrong. Read the diffs. Full detail is in our privacy policy.

WidelCode in your terminal and editor

The same coding agent as the Mac app, as a command-line tool and an editor extension. Each one installs from its own package registry and updates from there.

Command line

Preview

From npm

The agent in your terminal on macOS, Linux and Windows. Run it interactively, or headless in CI with an access token.

npm install -g widelcode
widelcode login

Requires Node.js 20 or newer.

View on npm (opens in a new tab)

VS Code

Preview

From Visual Studio Marketplace

The same agent in a side panel, with diffs, checkpoints and cloud runs. Search for WidelCode in the Extensions view, or run:

code --install-extension widelai.widelcode

Requires VS Code 1.95 or newer.

Open in the Marketplace (opens in a new tab)

Cursor, VSCodium and Kiro

Preview

From Open VSX

VS Code-compatible editors install extensions from Open VSX rather than the Marketplace. The extension is published there under the same ID.

widelai.widelcode

Search for the ID in your editor's Extensions view.

Open on Open VSX (opens in a new tab)

  • Sign in by approving a device code in your browser, with no API key to paste. For CI, create an access token under Settings → Developer access and set WIDELAI_TOKEN.

  • On macOS and Linux, commands run in a sandbox that can only write inside the project. Windows has no sandbox yet, so the CLI asks before every command there.
