A live forecast of the context window, drawn above the prompt.

Ahel Desktop is a desktop chat app for ahel.ai. Sign in with your ahel.ai account and the Ahel MCP connects on its own, so your apps, their cards and their approvals work right in the chat.
Models come from your ahel.ai account, your own API key, or a coding CLI already installed on your computer.
Get the latest macOS (Apple silicon) or Windows build from the latest release.
Builds are unsigned beta builds for now. macOS: open the app once; when macOS refuses it, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, press Open Anyway and enter your Mac password (right-click > Open no longer works on macOS 15). Windows: SmartScreen > More info > Run anyway.
Install Node.js and pnpm, then run:
pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run package:desktop:mac:arm64:dev
The unsigned app lands under apps/desktop/.desktop-build/. See the development guide and AGENTS.md for the rest.
The desktop client in this repository is open source. The ahel connector (MCP), the chat gateway, the catalog, the knowledge data and billing are the hosted ahel.ai service and are not in this repository.
