Desktop app
Ara, on your desktop.
Ara stays in a corner of your screen, answers from any app with one shortcut, and tells you when work is waiting on you. When you allow it, it works on this computer too.
Then
Sign in, or create your account
The app opens Ara's sign-in. New to Ara? Choose Create an account there: your account and this computer are set up together, with free credits to start.
Ask from any app
Press these keys anywhere and type. Ara answers in a small panel, and the work carries on when you close it.
CtrlShiftSpaceYour computer stays yours
Nothing runs on it until you choose. You decide how much of it Ara may use, and can disconnect at any time. Your teammates and admins cannot see it.
What the app adds
The same Ara, closer to your work.
On your screen
Ara stays in a corner of your desktop and shows what it is doing: working, done, or waiting on you.
Told when it matters
A notification when an approval is waiting on you or a job is done. One click opens it.
Works on this computer
When you allow it, Ara works here: on this computer's files, apps and browser, with you choosing how far.
Your own Claude Code or Codex
Ara can answer with the Claude Code or Codex on this computer, on the plan you already pay for.
