Switch Console is the desktop app you set Switch up in and run your agents from. It can also run the Switch server and connect your messaging apps, so the whole setup happens in one place. You don’t have to decide anything before you install it.

Download Switch Console

Each link below downloads the current release for your platform. To pick a different build or an older release, browse all releases. Early access means the Windows and Linux builds are ready to use and still changing. Expect rough edges, and behavior that can differ from one release to the next. When you hit one, open an issue. Reports help get them fixed sooner. Both macOS builds are .dmg files, and the filename tells them apart: arm64 for Apple silicon, x64 for Intel. Not sure which Mac you have? Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac: it shows an Apple chip, such as M1, or an Intel processor.

Install Switch Console

Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Switch Console into your Applications folder.macOS builds are signed and notarized, so the app opens without a Gatekeeper prompt.
On Linux, Running Switch Console on Linux covers the problems found so far and how to work around them.
Switch Console checks for new releases in the background and tells you when one is available. It downloads nothing until you accept, then installs the update the next time you quit. Quitting stops any agents running on this computer. On a server your team deployed, a new Switch Console can require a newer server. If something stops working after an update, see Connecting to a server.

Open Switch Console

Open Switch Console, and after the short intro, select Get started. Then follow the guide that matches why you’re here:
