Agent-native software dev that works alongside you
Factory Desktop App brings multi-agent AI development to macOS and Windows. Run parallel Droids, control your desktop, connect persistent cloud or local machines, and visualize work dynamically — included in all Factory plans, no extra cost.
The Factory just gave Droids a native home on your desktop, and it changes what's possible.
AI coding agents live in terminals, disconnected from the rest of your tools, your screen, and your team. The Factory Desktop App is a native interface for running multiple Droids across every part of your software business on macOS and Windows.
What stands out:
Multi-agent sessions: run parallel Droids simultaneously, each with its own context and history
Computer use: Droids control VS Code, browser tabs, terminals, and documents on your desktop
Droid Computers: Persistent machines that remember installed packages, repos, and credentials
Cloud Computers: Managed machines with SSH access, checkpoints, and instant resume
BYO Machine: Register any hardware, workstation, or GPU rig as a Droid Computer
Local model support: Run entirely on-device via Ollama or vLLM, no data leaves your network
AI-native visualization: Droids render Mermaid diagrams, charts, and dashboards mid-conversation
VS Code integration: Browse files, edit code, and run extensions linked to your Droid's session
Mobile included: Start a Droid on your laptop, check progress from your phone
Air-gapped deployments available for financial, healthcare, and government teams
Sessions, settings, and skills transfer automatically from CLI. Perfect for engineering teams, and now designers, PMs, and AEs who want Droids doing real work across every tool they use.
