OR INSTALL WITH HOMEBREW
brew install --cask emidhun/canopod/canopod

Homebrew is recommended. Installing the DMG? Canopod isn’t notarized yet. Follow the first-launch steps.

A few things to have ready.

Canopod manages your project’s tools. It doesn’t replace them.

Git and your project’s runtimes

Install Git and the package managers or runtimes your configured commands use. Canopod itself doesn’t require Node.

Postgres, when you need it

A local database is optional. Snapshot, restore, and other database workflows require Postgres and compatible client binaries.

Your agent, if you use one

For MCP, use a current Claude Code or Codex installation, or another compatible local MCP client. Enable access in Canopod Settings.

Installed? Look in your menu bar.

Open Canopod, add a repository, and review the detected setup. The tray icon is your shortcut back to your workspaces.
