Get started.

  1. Download the build for your operating system.
  2. Install or unpack the client, then open Merciful.
  3. Choose Merciful or configure your model endpoint in Settings.
  4. Open a workspace and describe the task. Review file changes and command output as you go.

Mac test build: the current local package is ad hoc signed. Developer ID signing and notarization are still pending for public distribution.

Start in File Explorer. On desktop, the workspace folder is saved on disk; Reveal in Finder, Explorer or Files opens it in your file manager. Keep copies of work you want to keep. The shell/filesystem mode selectors are hidden for this beta.

  • Chat and a file explorer in one workspace, with clickable file paths in replies.
  • Edit text files, save changes, and preview HTML with unsaved CSS and JavaScript files. Dirty tabs offer Save, Discard or Cancel when closed.
  • Check syntax and format HTML, JavaScript, JSON and CSS. Formatting in the editor stays a draft until you save.
  • More reliable agent commands: multiline exec blocks, literal replacements, syntax diagnostics and clearer command results.
  • Simpler Settings: the shell/filesystem mode selectors and per-tier backend overrides are hidden. BYOM provider settings remain available for beta testing.
  • Import supported text/code files into local folders without overwriting existing names. Browser clients can export the current file, including an unsaved draft.
  • Token exhaustion during agent follow-ups can continue in Economy without rerunning completed file commands. Other request limits remain visible.
  • Downloaded chat transcripts include available tool receipts and distinguish proposed commands from recorded execution.
  • Universal build for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
  • The desktop file explorer connects to a local workspace folder, with Reveal in Finder and Refresh controls.
