Rundock runs locally. There is nothing to provision and no account to create. You need a Claude Pro or Max subscription (Claude Code runs the agents). You do not have to set Claude Code up by hand first: Rundock’s first-run wizard detects it, helps you install it if it is missing, and signs you in with one click. Download Rundock for your platform:
PlatformDownload
macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)Universal .dmg
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).exe installer
LinuxBuild from source
Get both downloads from rundock.ai/download or the GitHub releases page.

​
macOS

One universal build runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. There is no separate Intel download and no architecture to pick.

​
1. Download Rundock

Get the universal .dmg from rundock.ai/download.

​
2. Install it

Open the .dmg and drag the Rundock icon to your Applications folder. Eject the .dmg once the copy completes.

​
3. Open Rundock

Open Rundock from Applications, Spotlight, or Launchpad. The app is signed and notarised by a verified Apple developer, so it launches without Gatekeeper warnings. On first launch, the setup wizard checks for Claude Code, helps you install it if needed, and signs you in. Continue to first-run setup.

​
Windows

A native installer for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit).

​
1. Download the installer

Get the .exe installer from rundock.ai/download.

​
2. Run it

The build is unsigned for now, so Windows SmartScreen shows a one-time prompt the first time you run it. Click More info, then Run anyway. Finish the installer; it adds a Desktop shortcut and a Start Menu entry.

​
3. Open Rundock and sign in

Open Rundock from the Desktop shortcut or Start Menu. The setup wizard:
  • Detects Claude Code, and shows the one-line install command (PowerShell or WinGet) if it is missing.
  • Adds Claude Code to your PATH so claude works in a terminal.
  • Gives you a one-click Sign in to Claude button that opens the browser sign-in. No terminal commands required.
Once the wizard shows both steps complete, continue to first-run setup.
The Windows build is unsigned for now, which is why SmartScreen prompts on first launch. The click-through above is safe and only appears once. Signing is on the roadmap.

​
Linux and build from source

For Linux, or anyone who wants to run Rundock from source. This is also the contributor path.

​
Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or later. Check with node --version.
  • Claude Code installed and authenticated. Confirm with claude --version.

​
Clone, install, and run

git clone https://github.com/liamdarmody/rundock.git
cd rundock
npm install
npm start
Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Rundock runs in the browser and behaves the same as the desktop app. If you want to modify Rundock or contribute changes, this is the route to take. The Contributing section covers it in more depth.

Where to next

Whichever path you took, Rundock is now running.
