README

Litespeed

A local coding agent for your Mac, terminal, and browser, built around **multi-model workflows**. Use one model or combine a driver with sidekicks, workers, or experts. Follow their work, approve changes, and review the result in one conversation. Pairing models lets a faster, cheaper model handle routine work while a stronger model handles planning or difficult tasks, which can reduce cost and wait time.

Connect through LiteLLM, OpenAI-compatible APIs, native Anthropic, or ChatGPT device sign-in. Your project stays on your machine; prompts and selected context go to your chosen provider.

Quick start

Mac desktop app

**[Download Litespeed for Apple silicon Macs](https://github.com/BerriAI/litespeed/releases/download/desktop-v0.1.23-preview.3/Litespeed-0.1.23-darwin-arm64.dmg)** · macOS 14 or later

Open the downloaded disk image, drag **Litespeed** onto **Applications**, then open Litespeed from Applications. The app includes its runtimes and task browser. This is a locally signed desktop preview, not an Apple-notarized release; see the [installation instructions](docs/desktop-macos.md#download-and-install) if macOS blocks the first launch.

Terminal

Download the terminal package with its runtimes included—no Node or npm setup:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/BerriAI/litespeed/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Open a **new terminal**, then run it from **the project you want to work on**:

cd /path/to/your/project
litespeed

The installer sets up the `litespeed` command for new terminal windows (zsh or Bash). If you use the same terminal window where you installed it, run `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` first.

Litespeed starts its local backend automatically. Updates appear in both UIs, or run `litespeed update`. Saved sessions and settings stay outside the application package.

See [installation, updates, and the source-build alternative](docs/installing.md). Packages support Apple silicon and Intel Macs
