Your agents, where you can see them.
Approvals and steering work with Claude Code and Codex. Others are observe-only for now.
Aria
Multiplayer for your AI agents. It lives in your notch.
Free for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later
Everything happens in the notch.
One small black panel at the top of your screen. Pick a part, or let it play.
Ask in plain words. Nothing runs until you say yes.
Also: Lens reads text from an image you pick, and routines chain steps. Use your own Anthropic key on any plan.
Every session becomes a lap.
Laps stay private on your Mac. Publishing after a masked preview is coming.
Watch your team’s agents work, live.
Hosted rooms open with Pro and Max.
Give the room a goal.
Conductor is coming to Max.
Catch the collision before the merge.
Teammates see activity, never your prompts, code or diffs.
See exactly how other people build.
The day ends. Your agents keep going.
Aria keeps watch from the notch. When you are back, she shows you what ran, what shipped and what is waiting for you.

Questions people ask
Anything else? Ask support
Which agents does Aria work with?
Claude Code and Codex are the supported beta agents. Gemini CLI, Cursor and Copilot have experimental observation paths; their approval controls are unavailable. For laps, Aria also reads Cursor and Amp journals in folders you approve.
What is the difference between observe and approve?
Observe means Aria shows what the agent is doing, which repo it is in and whether it is working, stuck or waiting. Approve means that when the agent asks permission to do something, you can allow or deny it from Aria without going back to its window.
What is a lap?
A lap is the record of one work session: which agents ran, when you stepped in, what shipped, and an optional replay. Aria builds it on your Mac. It stays private unless you review a masked preview and publish it, as stats only, with a summary, or with the full replay.
Is Aria an AI model?
Aria is the app and the orb. Her answers in rooms come from a model, either with your own key or a capped allowance on paid plans. She only sees what each member chooses to share, and room messages cannot give her permission to act. Anything that changes your Mac or someone’s agent waits for a person to approve it.
What leaves my Mac?
Aria does not automatically sync full agent prompts, code or diffs to the team. Speech is recognised on device. Cloud AI sends your message and any excerpts you explicitly review and select to the configured AI service. Planned managed AI uses OpenRouter and the selected model provider; optional own-key features use Anthropic. Team features share activity, notes and handoffs with teammates. Do not include secrets in shared or cloud-bound text.
What do I need to run it?
An Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later. Aria also works on Macs without a notch.
When can I use it?
The Mac beta is opening in waves. Join the waitlist and we will write when there is a seat for you. Paid plans are not open yet.
Is Aria affiliated with the companies that make these agents?
No. Aria is an independent product. It is not made, endorsed or sponsored by the makers of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor or Copilot, and those names belong to their owners.
