Avacardo

Say what to build.
Avacardo does the work.

A coding agent for your desktop. It reads your project, writes the code, runs it and checks it, and it can only touch the one folder you give it.

Download for Mac Windows: coming soon

Test version for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. You'll need an access code from us. Zip instead

Avacardo building a ping-pong game: one tidy summary of the files it edited and the commands it ran.

Locked to your folder

In safe mode the Mac itself keeps the agent's commands inside the project folder. Your documents, email and everything else stay out of reach.

Pay for what it does

Auto Lite, Auto and Auto Max pick the right model for each step, and every reply shows what it cost in credits.

Keeps itself up to date

New versions arrive on their own. Each one is signed by us and checked before it installs.

Installing on a Mac

Avacardo isn't in the App Store yet, so the first open takes one extra step.

  1. Open Avacardo.dmg and drag Avacardo onto the Applications folder beside it.
  2. Open Avacardo from Applications. Your Mac will say it can't check the app. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
  3. If it says the app is damaged, open Terminal, paste xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Avacardo.app, press Return and open it again.
  4. In Avacardo, open Settings → Account and paste your access code.
  5. Make a new, empty folder, choose it in Avacardo and tell it what to build.
