CodePilot

macOS builds are code-signed with a Developer ID certificate but not notarized, so Gatekeeper may still prompt on first launch. Windows and Linux builds are unsigned.

Option 1 -- Right-click CodePilot.app in Finder > Open > confirm.

Option 2 -- System Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll to Security > click Open Anyway.

Option 3 -- Run in Terminal:

xattr -cr /Applications/CodePilot.app

Option 1 -- Click "More info" on the SmartScreen dialog, then "Run anyway".

Option 2 -- Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > set App Install Control to allow apps from anywhere.

1. Configure a Provider — Go to Settings > Providers and add credentials for the provider you want to use. CodePilot includes presets for all major providers — just pick one and enter your API key.
2. Create a conversation — Pick a working directory, select a mode (Code / Plan / Ask), and choose a model.
3. Set up Assistant Workspace (optional) — Go to Settings > Assistant, choose a workspace directory, and enable Onboarding. CodePilot creates soul.md, user.md, claude.md, and memory.md at the workspace root.

5. Install Claude Code CLI (optional) — For advanced features like file editing and terminal commands, install the CLI: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
