Native desktop builds for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux — plus the tanvrit CLI, the VS Code extension, and a no-install browser portal.
The browser portal at /app/ runs in any browser but degrades engine-dependent features. Questions or issues? Visit Support.

Pick your platform. Each installer bundles the local engine and the MCP server — there is no extra runtime to install.

Install on Debian / Ubuntu
The .deb installs like any other package.
# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./TanvritAI-1.6.4-Linux-amd64.deb
# or:
sudo dpkg -i TanvritAI-1.6.4-Linux-amd64.debFirst launch on macOS / Windows
The macOS Apple Silicon build is Developer-ID signed and notarized, so it opens normally. Windows SmartScreen still warns once (More info → Run anyway). If an older macOS build ever says “damaged”, that's just the quarantine flag — clear it once in Terminal:
# macOS — if it says "damaged and can't be opened":
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Tanvrit AI.app"
# then open it normallyOn Windows, click More info → Run anyway. More detail on the Support page.
More surfaces
CLI, editor, and browser
The same local runtime — one index, the same agents and staged edits — reached three more ways.
Command line (tanvrit)
Scriptable access to the same runtime.
There is a command-line surface over the same local runtime — the same index, agents and staged edits, with a newline-delimited --json envelope and stable exit codes for scripts and CI. It is not inside the installers above — those carry one launcher each — but on Linux it is a download of its own, a self-contained tarball with its own Java runtime:
- tanvrit-cli-1.6.4-macOS-arm64.tar.gzmacOS Apple Silicon · 418 MB
- tanvrit-cli-1.6.4-macOS-x64.tar.gzmacOS Intel · 419 MB
- tanvrit-cli-1.6.4-Linux-x64.tar.gzLinux x86_64 · 419 MB
- tanvrit-cli-1.6.4-Linux-arm64.tar.gzLinux ARM64 · 416 MB
There is no macOS or Windows build of it yet, no Homebrew formula and no npm package; on those platforms it is built from the repository. Two of its 68 commands (provider set, policy set) are served by no backend and two more only with the app open, and browser sign-in is blocked on a server-side OAuth record.
VS Code extension
Sidebar UI plus inline tool calls — talks to the same local MCP server.
Extension v1.5.1 is live on the Marketplace and pairs fully with desktop v1.6.4 — Pending Edits review, run history, and the knowledge view all light up. Extensions 1.3.x and older can no longer run agents against desktop v1.6.4(agent endpoints are bearer-gated now); upgrade to 1.5.1.

Distribution status
What ships today, stated plainly.
All five desktop builds of v1.6.4 ship today — macOS on both Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows, and Linux on x86_64 and ARM64 — built by Tanvrit's release workflows and streamed from dl.tanvrit.com. This paragraph said the Intel macOS build was "still pending a matching runner" until 2026-09-11, by which time it had already been built on a self-hosted Mac and was serving its full 278 MB at its advertised URL. The installers are unsigned — the v1.6.4 macOS job ran packageDmg, not the signed-and-notarised task, so Gatekeeper and SmartScreen will warn on first launch; the install guide has the one-time bypass. Published SHA-256 checksums are not available yet: tanvrit/ai is a private repository, so its GitHub release page is not something you can open, and no checksum file is mirrored alongside the installers. Until that lands, the file size above is the only figure worth comparing — ask Support if you need a hash before installing.
