Run Starchild
from your Mac.

Your agent is always on in the cloud. The Starchild app connects it to your Mac, so it can access your files and run things locally, with permissions you control.

How it works

Your agent still lives in the cloud, but a small bridge lets you extend its workspace.

  1. Download the app Click the button below to get the macOS build.
  2. Install the DMG file Open the file and drag Starchild into your Applications folder.
  3. Pair with your agent Launch Starchild and paste the pairing key your agent gives you.
  4. Grant local access Choose which folders your agent can reach. You can change this any time.

Prefer Homebrew? It keeps the app and CLI up to date:

$ brew tap starchild/tap https://github.com/Starchild-ai-agent/homebrew-tap $ brew trust starchild/tap $ brew install --cask starchild-app-release
  1. Run the install command It detects your architecture and puts the binary on your $PATH.
    $ curl -fsSL https://workroom.iamstarchild.com/install/cli | bash
  2. Pair with your agent Ask your agent for a key, then log in.
    $ starchild login starchild_xxxxxxxx
  3. Grant local access Allow the folders you want your agent to reach.

Prefer Homebrew?

$ brew tap starchild/tap https://github.com/Starchild-ai-agent/homebrew-tap $ brew trust starchild/tap $ brew install starchild

Your files, your rules

Local access is permission-scoped. You set the folders, and you can revoke at any time.

What you can allow

Read your Downloads, Documents, or Desktop. Write where you permit it. Run approved commands like node or ls.

What it will never do

Touch SSH keys, credentials, or shell configs. Run destructive commands without you. Act outside the folders you listed.
