StrideOps on your machine
The desktop app keeps your local agent runner online. It sits in your tray, keeps your agents running in the background, and stays current on its own.

Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt on first run. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
macOS
macOS 11 or later, Apple silicon and Intel
On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open to get past Gatekeeper.

Why desktop
Your agents keep working when the tab is closed
Runs agents on your machine
Your agents work against local files and tools, not a sandbox in someone else's cloud.
Always on, in the tray
Closing the window doesn't stop your agents. They keep running and restart themselves if they crash.
Updates itself
New versions download quietly in the background and apply the next time you quit.
Locked to your workspace
The app only ever loads StrideOps.ai, and only asks for the mic and notification permissions it needs.
Prefer the browser? Everything in the desktop app is also at app.strideops.ai. The desktop build adds local agent execution and background operation.
