Install

Mac. Download the disk image for your Mac — Apple silicon or Intel — from GitHub Releases, open it, and drag Go7 Workhorse to Applications. Or let one line pick the right build, copy the app to Applications, and unmount. Nothing is installed system-wide and no password is needed:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go7studio/Go7-Workhorse/main/scripts/install-mac.sh | bash

The Apple silicon build does not start on an Intel Mac, so pick the disk image that matches your chip, or use the line above — it checks.

Windows. Run Go7-Workhorse-Setup-<version>.exe. It adds Start-menu and Desktop shortcuts and keeps your projects and chats across updates.

Linux. Builds and tests in CI. No installer yet.

First run

New project — give it a name. No folder needed. Add Source folders now or later; several are allowed.
New chat from that project, or from the welcome screen (that makes an Untitled project). A chat starts with the last model you used.
Open Chat settings from the message box to set the Provider, pick from Available models, and set the Reasoning level. Those live on the chat, not the app.
Talk. Grok, Codex, Claude and Cursor run live through their own CLIs. A custom bot runs over HTTP.
Type / for the palette. /settings opens Profile, LLMs, Skills, Routing, Learning, Usage and Watch.

The welcome screen shows what it found on this machine: each vendor reads Recognized, Sign in needed, or Not found. If a vendor is missing, connect it.

What you are looking at

The sidebar — projects, and the chats inside each. Search all chats from the top. Each chat row shows its vendor colour and how old the last prompt is.
The chat — the transcript, the message box, and a compact line of the turn's work while it runs. Beside the message box: Changes (git review) and the Terminal.
Settings — /settings, or the Workhorse mark. Profile, LLMs, Skills, Routing, Learning, Usage, Watch.
Themes — /theme cycles Light, Dark, Workhorse and System. Clicking the mark toggles the Workhorse look.
