Koda for Mac. Beta.

Make anything you can think of.

Koda is a free Mac app where Claude builds apps and documents for you. Everything it makes lives on your own computer and runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for.

Make me a simple meal planner. Save recipes I like, and plan the week's dinners.

The tomatoes finally turned

First red one this morning. The basil is getting leggy though. I think it wants more sun than the corner gets. Moving it Saturday.

Weekly summary, written by Claude

Everything you planted in May is set. Watering held steady every two to three days. The basil is the only thing struggling.

Instead of just horizontal scroll, can the cards snap better? It feels loose.

Thought 4s
playwrightverify the snap on a phone
Snap is firm now. I used snap-center and snap-always, so each card locks to the middle and a fast swipe can't skip past.
Can we remove the scroll bar at the bottom since it snaps?

Koda is built in Koda. This website too.

In control

It asks before it acts.

Koda checks with you before it changes files or runs anything. You choose how much it asks, from step by step to full speed.

The safety net

Nothing you build can break for good.

Koda keeps a save point before every change it makes. If something breaks, you go back to the moment it worked, in one click.

On your Mac

It's all yours.

What you make runs on your own Mac, with no account to lose and no credits to buy. It keeps working as long as you want it, and it is easy to live with.

It remembers your project

Koda keeps notes on your project, so a new conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Drive it from your phone

The agent keeps going on your Mac while you're away. Approve its next step, open your documents, and get a push when your Claude hours come back.

It comes set up with rules

Koda comes with the rules it follows, plus skills and specialists it can use. You set up none of it, and it is all yours to change.

What it costs

The app is free.

Koda is free, and it stays free. The only bill is your Claude or ChatGPT plan, which pays for the engine that does the work.

Free app

Download it and use it. There are no credits to buy.

Your own plan

The engine runs on your Claude or ChatGPT subscription. That's the whole bill.

Local files

Your projects are folders on your Mac. Leave anytime, take everything.

Later, cloud sync and your phone arrive as optional paid add-ons. The app stays free.
