On Mac today. Windows is coming.

Captures of the app on a Mac: the request spoken in the notch, a session working on it and the finished site in the built-in browser (Olaria Santa Teresa, a ceramics studio in Rio).

What Rogue Code is

Rogue Code is Rogue's desktop app for coding with AI.

You say what you want, by voice or in writing, and Rogue's coding agent builds the site, app or game in a folder on your computer, showing every step and the live preview beside the chat. No coding needed; if you code, open the folder of a project you already have and ask for the fix, the test or the review.

Desktop: On Mac today, with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later. Windows is coming.
Rust: A native app, no Electron, with the agent's engine inside, that updates itself.
170 MB: The installer. Installed, the app takes 367 MB, measured on November 6, 2026.
PT and EN: The whole app in Portuguese and in English, with a voice in both.

The first launch

The first time you open Rogue Code, a short film shows what it does, and Rogue introduces itself: it asks, one line at a time, your name, the language, the backdrop of your sessions and where to build, while the app puts itself together behind the conversation. Go through it here, with the mouse or the keyboard.

A replica of the Rogue Code 0.2.14 onboarding, with the app's lines, order and motion. The voice is the recording that ships inside the app, and nothing you type here leaves the page unless you send it.

In your folder, step by step.

A project is a folder on your computer: one you already have, or a new one. Rogue works inside it, and what it makes stays there, in files that are yours to open in any editor and keep in Git.

Every step stays in the chat:

what it thought
the commands it ran
the files it edited

Without a folder, each session gets its own in ~/Rogue Code.

The session for a ceramics studio website, from the request to the finished site, as it appears in the chat.

Everything in the app

Beyond the voice, the folder and the preview: what Rogue Code brings from the first launch, from dictation in the field to the command palette.

Talk or type

Voice key⌥Space: On a Mac with macOS 26, hold it, say what you want and let go: the request becomes a session with the agent at work. The microphone is open only while the key is held.
Dictation in the field: The microphone beside Send dictates into the field so you can review before sending. It knows your project's names, so files and folders like page.tsx and src/app come out spelled right.
Quick things in the notch: Apps, folders and sites by name, the volume, the time: the notch answers in writing, without pulling you away from what you were doing.

See it working

Live preview: Rogue starts the project and opens it in the panel beside the chat, with no command to type. The page reloads by itself whenever a file is saved.
Checked in the browser: Before calling it done, the agent opens the site at desktop size (1440 × 900) and phone size (390 × 844) and looks for JavaScript errors, missing files, cut-off text and buttons too small to tap.
Built-in browser: The browser panel keeps you signed in across tabs and restarts, and an .html link in the chat opens rendered.
Terminal in the app: Every command the agent runs becomes a tab in the chat's terminal, and a block of commands in a reply gets a Run button.

In the chat

Markdown, Mermaid and LaTeX: Replies arrive formatted: tables and lists, Mermaid diagrams drawn, LaTeX formulas typeset and images right in the conversation.
Session card: Rest the pointer on a conversation in the sidebar to see its project, the branch with its changes, the pull request and what is running.
Side chats and subagents: Drag a conversation from the sidebar into the field to mention it. Side chats and subagents sit in lanes under the session card.

On the keyboard

Command palette⌘K: Sessions, commands, files and text search across the project, each in its own tab.
Model picker⌘/: Opens the picker; there, ⌘1, ⌘2 or ⌘3 picks the model.
Jump to a session⌘1 to 9: Goes straight to the first nine conversations in the sidebar.
Your shortcuts⌘F: Settings > Shortcuts lists every shortcut and lets you change it, and ⌘F in Settings finds any setting.

Projects and Git

A folder of yours: Open a folder you already have, like a repository cloned from GitHub, or let each session get its own in ~/Rogue Code.
Changes and history: The changes panel shows what each session changed and the commit history, and a session can work in a worktree of its own.
MCP servers: Your MCP servers come in through the Plugins screen, and the agent uses their tools when you ask.

Always up to date

Updates itself: Once installed, Rogue Code updates itself.
Portuguese and English: The whole app in both languages; switch in Settings > General > Language.
Your look: Light or dark theme, accent color and the backdrop of new sessions: Christ the Redeemer, none, or an image of yours.

Made in Rogue Code

Sites, apps and games that came out of real sessions, from the request to the screen.

For a game, Rogue puts a team together: a designer, an artist, a programmer and a reviewer work in conversations of their own that you can open in the sidebar. A 3D game stays 3D, and online multiplayer comes with a server and a test with two clients before it reaches you.

Questions people ask

Does Rogue Code work on Windows?

Rogue Code runs on Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later today, and the Windows version is coming. Rogue on the web works in any browser in the meantime, on Windows too.

Is Rogue Code free?

Rogue Code is part of Rogue's paid plans, Go and Max, which are announced and not on sale yet; for now it opens by invitation. Rogue on the web is free during the beta, with usage limits.

Which models does it use?

Rogue's models: Rogue Pro (fast) opens every session, and Rogue Pro and Rogue Lightning are a shortcut away, with effort from Low to Maximum. They are the same as on Rogue on the web.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. It is what many people call vibe coding: you describe what you want in your own words, and the agent writes the code, runs the project and shows the preview. If you do code, open a folder you already have and ask for a fix, a test or a review.

Can I talk instead of typing?

Yes. On a Mac with macOS 26, hold ⌥ Space, say what you want and let go: the request becomes a session. In the request field, the microphone beside Send dictates the text for you to review before sending.

Do I keep the code?

Yes. The project is a folder on your computer, and what Rogue makes are files inside it, yours to open in any editor, keep in Git and publish wherever you like.

Does it make games?

Yes. Ask for a game and Rogue puts a team of agents together, each in a conversation you can open in the sidebar. The game can be 3D and have online multiplayer, with a server and a test with two clients.

Is Rogue Code an alternative to Cursor, Claude Code and Codex?

It is another way of coding with AI on your computer. Rogue Code starts from the request, spoken or written, and delivers the project running in a preview beside the chat, with page design and a check in the browser along the way.
