We’re excited to launch Bento for Mac! You can now keep your agent pipeline in a desktop app, sign in to hosted Bento, or run agents in Docker on your own Mac.
Download the app
Download Bento for Mac for Apple silicon or Intel. Open the DMG, drag Bento to Applications, and launch it from there. No separate Node.js installation is needed.
Choose where agents run
- LocalChoose Run locally to keep your board, its history, and agent runs on your machine. You’ll need Docker Desktop or OrbStack for local agents.
- HostedChoose Sign in or sign up to use hosted Bento at app.usebento.ai, then finish signing in through your browser. There is no server address to enter. Agents run on hosted Bento, so you won’t need Docker on your Mac.
Set up your workflow
For setup and connection details, see the Mac app guide.
- RepositoriesAdd your projects and tell Bento how they install dependencies and run tests. In local mode, use the native folder picker to choose a checkout.
- AgentsPick the harness and model you want, add its credentials, and give the agent a skill to follow.
- PipelineUse the same board and pipeline controls as the web app. Start with manual review, then automate gates when you’re ready.
