This app runs on a desktop computer. Open this page on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine to install it.
Download for macOS
Download the app, move it to Applications, and open it. Setup will guide you from there.
Prefer Homebrew?
brew install --cask omnim-ai/tap/artifactbridge
Homebrew installs the same signed app and CLI. The
Homebrew install keeps its ownership record in the
default state directory under your account home; with
a custom AB_STATE_DIR or HOME,
keep the existing data and configuration. A recovery
procedure must be verified for those paths before
changing the installation. When Homebrew replacement
history cannot be verified, the app preserves existing
data and reports the uncertainty through CLI output and
doctor. Explicit reset retains its existing
default-directory checks. If another installation,
reset, or uninstall is active, wait for it to finish
before retrying. Unrecognized transaction records are
kept for diagnosis; do not delete them to force an
installation.
Download for Windows
Run the per-user installer, then open ArtifactBridge from the Start menu.
Download for Linux
Choose your distribution. Native packages enroll the signed ArtifactBridge repository for later updates. AppImage is the portable fallback for other x86-64 systems.
Debian or Ubuntu
Download the package and checksum manifest into the same folder. Check the package before you install it.
sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS &&
sudo apt install ./ArtifactBridge-Tray-linux-x86_64.debThe install stops if the package does not match the release manifest.
Fedora or RHEL
These commands import the ArtifactBridge release key, add its signed repository, and install the app. The first two lines are one-time setup.
sudo rpm --import https://app.artifactbridge.com/packages/keys/artifactbridge-rpm.asc
sudo dnf install --setopt=localpkg_gpgcheck=1 https://app.artifactbridge.com/packages/rpm/stable/bootstrap/artifactbridge-release.rpm
sudo dnf install artifact-bridge-trayThe package manager verifies this install and later updates.
Other Linux
Download the AppImage, make it executable, and start it. AppImage does not enroll a package repository.
chmod +x ArtifactBridge-Tray-linux-x86_64.AppImageThen open the AppImage from your file manager or terminal.

Connected to your work.
Controlled by you.
You decide which tools to connect and whether agents can resume work. Notifications and agent wake are choices you make during setup.
A few things to know.
What does the desktop app add?
Desktop notifications, setup for supported local AI tools, and updates to installed workspace skills. You can also allow supported command-line agents to resume selected work.
Will it change my AI tool settings?
The app asks before it configures the tools you select and preserves configuration it does not own. You can review the setup plan before applying changes.
Do I need to install an AI tool first?
To connect a local agent, install a supported AI tool first. ArtifactBridge connects the tools already on your machine; it does not install those tools for you.
Can I use ArtifactBridge with just ChatGPT?
Yes. The official ChatGPT app connects on the web and does not require the desktop app.

More ways to connect
The desktop app sets up the local tools on this computer after you review the plan. You do not need it: a browser assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini connects in its own settings, and a local tool such as Claude Code or Codex connects from its command line. Connect your AI tools has the exact steps, the access each tool needs, and the MCP server address for every supported tool.
Only using ChatGPT? You can connect without a desktop download.
