Install and first launch

BeyDock is a native macOS app that runs coding agents side by side: Claude, Codex, Antigravity and OpenCode. Each session runs on one of your own accounts, on this Mac or on an SSH host. BeyDock is in early access, so this page describes the early access build.

Requirements

A Mac running macOS 26 or later. BeyDock is built on Liquid Glass, which needs macOS 26.
Node.js on your Mac. BeyDock runs a small helper process with Node. If it can't find Node, it shows "Node.js not found" and suggests brew install node.
The command line tool of each provider you want to use: claude, codex, agy (Antigravity) or opencode. Signing in to an account opens that tool in Terminal.
A sign-in for each provider you use, such as a Claude subscription or a ChatGPT account for Codex.

You don't need all four providers. Use the ones you have.

Install

Request a build on the Download page. Early access builds are sent by email.
Move BeyDock.app into your Applications folder.
Open BeyDock.

What you see on first launch

BeyDock opens in Agent mode. The sidebar lists your sessions and has a New session row (⌘N) at the top. The switcher above it moves between Agent and Home. Home holds Overview, Analytics, Connections and Workflows.

BeyDock starts with one Claude account named Default. It uses your normal Claude Code sign-in in ~/.claude. If you already use Claude Code in a terminal, you can start a session right away. Otherwise, or to add other providers and subscriptions, continue with Add your accounts.

If you have sessions from Claude Code in a terminal, choose File › Import from Claude Code… (⇧⌘I) to bring them in. The empty sidebar also offers this as a button.

Windows, menus and settings

Open settings with BeyDock › Settings (⌘,). The tabs are General, Appearance, Accounts, Devices, Menu Bar, Agents, Connections and Workflows.
Hide or show the sidebar with ⌘\.
Closing the window doesn't quit BeyDock. By default it keeps running in the menu bar so usage and session status stay visible. You can change this under Settings › Menu Bar › Keep running in the menu bar. See Menu bar, widgets and Control Center.

Optional features that need extra setup

A few features need more than the default install:

Keeping your Mac awake with the lid closed, and widgets, need a build signed with a developer certificate. See Keep Awake.
Workflows and the BeyDock Hub are off until you turn them on in Settings.
SSH hosts need key-based login. See SSH hosts.

Next: Add your accounts.
