Or with Homebrew, which also installs the planton CLI

brew install plantonhq/tap/planton-desktop

Open the disk image and drag Planton to Applications. The app is signed and notarized, so it opens without a warning.

After You Install

One launch does the rest.

Pick Where Planton Runs

First launch asks one question: this computer, planton.ai, or a self-hosted deployment. Choose Run on This Computer. No account is asked for, then or later.

Watch It Set Itself Up

The app downloads its runtime once: a Java runtime, Postgres, Temporal, a cache, and the control plane. A few hundred megabytes with a real progress bar, verified against the release’s checksums. Later upgrades fetch only what changed.

Your Clouds Are Already There

Planton finds the AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Kubernetes sign-ins on your machine and offers each as a ready connection. Then ask for what you need.

Then, From Wherever You Work

Ask from your editor, from the terminal, or build your services on this machine. Each is a minute.

npx skills add plantonhq/skills

Installs the Planton skills into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and any other agent on the machine. Then ask in your editor, in your own words: "I need a Postgres database for this service in dev." The agent composes the manifest from the real schema, validates it offline, and applies it through the platform on this laptop, with one confirmation from you.

Verify the Download on macOS

Hash the file you downloaded and compare it with the release's checksums. The next two lines ask Gatekeeper and the notarization ticket directly; a signed, stapled build passes both.

Updates

The app checks for updates and installs them with one click. On Homebrew, brew upgrade planton-desktop does the same. Updates are signed by Planton and verified before they are applied.

Why run Planton on your laptop? Want the platform without the app? Install the CLI on its own, or run the self-hosted edition on your own cluster.
