Download DevThrottle

Download the Director. No account needed.

Install DevThrottle and run your coding agents in one place. You only sign in later — when you connect a gateway.

Three ways to install it

Same installer, same result. Pick whichever suits how you work.

Most people

Download and run it

A normal Windows installer. Double-click it like any other app — no account, no command line, no admin rights.

Download for Windows

Windows 10 and 11

Windows may ask you to confirm this file before the download finishes. If it stops short, open your full downloads list and click Keep.

On a Mac? There is no download button, and that is deliberate: Apple blocks browser downloads of apps we cannot yet notarize, with no way around it. The two paths beside this one work on a Mac and are not a workaround — they are the same installer, driven from the terminal.

Already running an agent

Let your agent install it

Hand this to Claude Code, Codex, or whatever you already have open. Windows and macOS both. Nothing opens on screen — there is no wizard to click.

Prompt

Install DevThrottle on this machine. Follow https://devthrottle.com/docs/install#install-agent exactly: download the headless installer for this platform and the release manifest, verify the installer SHA-256 against the manifest, and stop if it does not match. Then run install, and tell me the version you installed.

It verifies the download against our published hashes before running anything. Read the full steps

Terminal, scripts, new machines

Install from the command line

Two commands, no window, same on a fresh machine or inside a setup script.

PowerShell

$src = "https://devthrottle.blob.core.windows.net/download"
$exe = "devthrottle-setup-cli-win-x64.exe"

curl.exe -L -o $exe "$src/$exe"
.\$exe install

Installs per-user. No admin rights needed. More on installing

From download to a running agent

  1. 1

    Download and install

    Double-click the installer like any Windows app. No account needed to install the Director.

  2. 2

    Connect a gateway

    Sign in with Google, GitHub, or email. Easiest path: connect to a hosted gateway we run. Or point the app at the URL of a gateway you run yourself. This is the moment you sign in — never before it.

  3. 3

    Start your agents

    Open a project and your first agent is running.

Running it yourself? Self-hosted means self-configured.

The app is open source, and running everything yourself costs nothing — but it is a do-it-yourself path. You stand up your own gateway, keep that machine on, set up remote access, and maintain it, following the guides in the GitHub repository. That work is the difference between the do-it-yourself path and Pro, where we run the gateway for you and it just works. Read the honest version on the open source page before you choose.
