early access

Install a client.
Pair your Remote Host.

The macOS and Windows desktop clients open your workspace. The private-beta Remote Host runs Claude Code or Codex inside an isolated Linux VM on an Apple-silicon Mac you manage.

Remote Host · private beta

One controlled host, one shared Agent

The initial Remote Host is an Apple-silicon Mac with an isolated Linux VM. Pairing uses an expiring, single-use code; it does not require opening a router port or copying a server secret.

  1. Sign in and connect the GitHub repository used for the beta.
  2. Prepare the isolated Linux VM on the Mac host.
  3. Create a one-time pairing code in Cloud settings and run it only inside the VM.
  4. The Remote Host administrator prepares the server-side Claude Code or Codex profile.
  5. Complete a turn, verify its checkpoint, restart the Remote Host, and reopen from web.
  6. Invite a member and verify they can continue the same session without receiving the provider credential.

Get to your first Agent thread

  1. Install and open Manifoldone.
  2. Sign in with GitHub or Google and connect a GitHub repository.
  3. Open Cloud settings, pair your Remote Host, and prepare Claude Code or Codex.
  4. Start a Agent thread and confirm the turn reaches a successful Git checkpoint.
  5. Reopen the same session from another client before inviting a teammate.

The Agent identity stays on the server boundary

Provider subscription and API costs remain between you and the provider. One administrator manages the Remote Host profile. Approved workspace members can issue turns to the same Agent, but the credential is never sent to their clients. Use shared mode only with a provider identity whose terms permit delegated server execution.

Updates and first launch

The desktop app checks the public release feed and verifies updater signatures before applying an update. You can also check manually from the app's update control.

The current macOS early-access build is not Apple-notarized. On first launch, macOS may require System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Updater signature verification and Apple notarization are separate checks.

Uninstall

Early access means the collaboration surface is still being hardened. Keep important work committed to version control and report blockers to hello@manifoldone.com. Teams testing a real handoff can also request founder-led onboarding.
