chidori v0.3.2 for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Each archive contains the IDE binary, config templates, and reasoning chains.

What's new in v0.3.2

Focused on engine hardening and day-to-day agent reliability.

  • Engine hardening — draft mode, verification, polling, and race-condition fixes across the agent loop.
  • Agent self-correction, plus fixes to registry/vector-store races and hybrid-mode dead code.
  • Agent UX + LSP-powered code navigation, with a hardened integrated terminal.
  • Fixed External API Keys bugs in the Inference Source settings.
  • Transport parity fix — agent errors are no longer silently swallowed in the packaged app.
  • NVIDIA endpoint timeout fix, an improved chain-of-thought prompt, and assorted cosmetic UI fixes.

AI Reasoning Modes

Four integrated modes for different coding tasks — each with direct access to your codebase and local/remote LLMs.

Getting started

Prerequisites: macOS 10.10+ or Windows 7+. Optional: Ollama for local LLM inference.

  1. Download

    Select Apple Silicon or Intel above.

  2. Extract

    cd ~/Downloads
tar -xzf chidori-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

  3. Launch

    Open Applications folder or finder location and double-click chidori.app. On first launch, macOS may ask for permission.

  4. Configure LLM (optional)

    Go to Settings → Inference Source to connect to Ollama or a remote LLM API.

LLM Configuration

chidori supports multiple inference sources:

Local Ollama

http://localhost:11434

Run Ollama locally and chidori will auto-detect it.

Remote API

https://api.openai.com/v1

Configure any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.

Custom Endpoint

Self-hosted LLM

Point to your own LLM server running anywhere.

Hybrid Mode

Local + Remote

Use local LLM primarily, fallback to remote.

How it works — components

Native Desktop App

Built with Wails — Go backend, vanilla JS frontend. Native macOS and Windows binaries.

AI Modes

Four interaction patterns — Ask for answers, Agent for autonomous tasks, Plan for architecture, Debug for error resolution.

Inference Coordination

Unified interface for local (Ollama) or remote (OpenAI, custom) LLM endpoints. Auto-detection and fallback support.

IDE Features

Full editor with file tree, syntax highlighting, integrated terminal, and configuration management built-in.

Companion mobile app Coming soon

chidori is coming to mobile. A companion app is in the works — check on your coordinator, review agent runs, and chat with your local/remote LLMs from your phone while chidori keeps running on your desktop. No release date yet; this page will be updated the moment it ships.
