Install

Forven is a Windows desktop app today. A macOS build is in progress — get notified when it ships.

Windows

1. Download the .exe installer from the latest release, or from forven.app/download.
2. Run the installer.
3. The beta installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen "unknown publisher" prompt. Click More info → Run anyway to continue.

macOS

Not yet available. A macOS build is in progress — leave your email on the download page and we'll let you know the moment it's ready.

First run

On first launch, Forven creates a workspace directory in your user home. It asks for an LLM API key only if you enable agent features.

Link your account

After installing, open the app to get an 8-character device code, then approve it at /activate while signed in. See Beta access & desktop handshake for how the link works.
