Aria public beta

The Aria beta is open for sign-ups, and it’s free. I want to be upfront about one thing before anything else: the download itself isn’t open yet. I’m holding it back until signed and notarized builds have made it through install and update testing on more than one Mac. Shipping an app that breaks the first time it tries to update itself is a bad way to start, so I’d rather wait a little. If you join the list, you’ll hear the moment it’s ready.

As for what you’ll actually get, the heart of Aria is a live view of every agent session you have running, right up in the notch. Each one shows what it’s doing at that moment, so you can tell at a glance whether things are moving or whether something has quietly stalled. When Claude Code or Codex needs permission to run a command, you can approve or deny it straight from the panel instead of digging through terminals to find the one that’s asking. And if you want to nudge an agent in a different direction, you can type to it in plain words from the same place.

The part I’m most excited about is teams. If the people you work with run agents too, Aria shows theirs alongside yours, and it warns you when two agents are about to touch the same files before they collide. That was the moment that convinced me this needed to be multiplayer and not just a personal tool.

Through all of it, your prompts, code, and diffs stay on your Mac. Sharing with a team is something you turn on, not something that happens by default.

There are limits, and I’d rather name them than have you find them. Approvals work with Claude Code and Codex only for now. Aria runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. Anything rough that I know about goes on the known issues page, and I keep it current. Pricing after the beta is on the pricing page, but for now, it’s free.
