Start building

A plan buys a weekly allowance, sized for steady work.

Start

Install

One command installs the CLI and the desktop app. The web app needs none of it: it is at atlas.runlogai.com.

01

One command

It fetches one binary, checks it against the published checksum, then unpacks the desktop app in your user folders. Nothing is machine-wide; no administrator is needed.

Terminal
curl -fsSL https://get.runlogai.com/install.sh | sh
PlatformThe CLIThe desktop appOpens from
macOS~/.local/bin/runlog~/Applications/Runlog.appLaunchpad
Linux~/.local/bin/runlog~/.local/opt/runlogthe applications menu
Windows%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\runlog\runlog.exe%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Runlog Desktopthe Start Menu

SeeTwo lines name where each went; the app opens on its sign-in. A platform without a published app says so; the CLI still installs. Next: sign in.

02

Verify

One check
runlog help                     # the verbs: link, sync, watch, local, and a bare runlog to converse

SeeThe verb list prints. If the shell says command not found, add the folder the install named to your PATH and open a new terminal.

03

Update, or install only the CLI

runlog upgrade replaces the CLI; the desktop app offers its own updates. Running the line again installs both afresh. RUNLOG_SKIP_DESKTOP=1 before the line installs the CLI alone.

04

Unsigned builds

Builds are unsigned while store signatures clear. The install line opens without a security prompt; a build downloaded in a browser asks once: right-click → Open on macOS, “More info” → “Run anyway” on Windows.
