Inside Kaer Work
One desk for all of your work.
Kaer Work is where you hand off a job, watch it run and accept the result. Build in a folder, work through the day, and let automations run while you are away.
Open a project folder and ask for a change. Kaer Work writes and runs the code, tests it and shows you every diff.
Built for trust
Your Mac. Your subscriptions. Your rules.
New in 1.0: Full access mode
Your Mac, your subscriptions
Run on this Mac, on your other computers or on Kaer Cloud. Kaer Work detects the coding CLIs on your Mac automatically, from Claude Code and Codex to Copilot and Cursor, so you can use the plans you already pay for and pin the model each one uses.
Nothing happens without your say
Ask before acting, auto-edit or plan first: you choose how much Kaer Work does on its own. Full access lets it act without asking, so it warns you before you switch it on.
Full access acts without asking. Use it only for work you trust.Full visibility
A live transcript of every step: one row per tool call, the diffs, the plan and every permission prompt, as it happens. Watch runs from the notch deck in the menu bar without opening the app.
The agents
Runs on the agents that lead the field.
Kaer Agent and Kaer Swarm are Kaer's own harness and the default. Prefer Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot or Cursor? Kaer Work runs them on your own subscription.

Changelog
Latest from Kaer Work
Reference files and docs with @, a redesigned ⌘K, and a Kaer Cloud page.
- Type @ in the composer to reference files and docs, or use a skill once.
- ⌘K is redesigned, with Search and Ask Kaer side by side.
- The Kaer Cloud page lists your published apps, cloud sessions, triggers and agents.
- Agent questions, plans and permission asks appear as cards in the composer.
Agents in a project work together, and each project sets its own sandbox limits.
- Agents in one project can message each other's chats and share notes.
- Set each project's limits in Settings → Sandbox: what agents run and change.
- Updates are checked every launch; with automatic updates off, nothing downloads unasked.
- With no project, Kaer's agent can now read files in your home folder.
Chats no longer show the app's internal instructions, Kaer's agent keeps the whole conversation in mind, and your keys are no longer stored in plain text.
- Chats show only what you typed: the notes the app sends with a message (your profile, usage, suggestion rules, project notes) no longer appear as if you wrote them, and a Kaer reply no longer repeats itself.
- Kaer's agent sees the recent turns of a chat word for word on every message, so it no longer answers as if the conversation had just started.
- Provider keys and your Kaer session are no longer stored in plain text. The first launch moves them into Credential Manager on Windows, the system keyring on Linux and an encrypted file on Mac.
- Web pages in the built-in browser can't reach the app. Outside Full access, agents can't read your SSH keys, cloud credentials or browser profiles, and Kaer's own tools have no network in Read only.
The first release of Kaer Work: coding agents with your project's files, terminal and changes beside the chat, on the models and plans you already have. On Mac, with Windows and Linux in beta.
- Open files in tabs in the work pane and edit them there. TypeScript, ESLint, Ruff and ShellCheck problems are underlined as you type, using the tools your project already has.
- Leave comments on lines in the Changes tab, then send them to the agent together as one review.
- A terminal under every chat, in the project folder. Toggle it with ⌃` or the header button.
- Queue follow-ups while a turn is running; they send in order when it ends, and pause if a turn fails or you stop it.

Common questions
What is Kaer Work?
Kaer Work is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux that builds, tests and gets everyday work done, on Kaer's own agents or the coding subscriptions you already pay for.
What is the difference between Build mode and Work mode?
Build works inside a project folder to write, fix and test code. Work handles everyday tasks, such as going through the week's supplier invoices, flagging anything over budget and drafting replies for you to check.
Can Kaer Work use the coding subscriptions I already pay for?
Yes. Kaer Work detects the coding subscriptions you already have on your computer and can run on those instead of Kaer's own agents, and you can pin the model each one uses.
What is Kaer Swarm?
Kaer Swarm is for bigger jobs: it splits the work across a team of employees and tests every change before handing it back to you. Kaer Agent, Kaer's own harness, is the default.
