Quinki：本地优先的 AI 智能体桌面应用，支持并行多智能体对话与社区工具市场

Quinki, AI Agents: As simple as possible!

A native desktop app for AI work: parallel multi-agent chats, scheduled tasks, a Market of community-built tools, and the App Expert to extend the app from inside it. Everything stays on your machine.

Install

App (macOS)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Upward991/Quinki/main/install.sh | sh

Installing the app also installs the CLI automatically (quinki lands in ~/.local/bin, PATH handled). Prefer a manual install? Download the .dmg from Releases, drag the app to Applications, and on first launch right-click it and choose Open.

CLI (standalone)

The same sessions, agents and skills, in your terminal. Works without the app:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Upward991/Quinki/main/install-cli.sh | sh

Mobile and web

• Android: install the APK from Releases (Quinki_Android_*.apk, and the companion Quinki_Expert_Android_*.apk).
• iOS and any browser: Quinki serves its own web UI (Settings, Web app). Open it from the phone, then Share, Add to Home Screen. It works on Android too, next to the APK.
• Windows and Linux: native builds come after macOS. The web UI already works everywhere.

Re-running the installer always installs the latest release. New builds are published as new releases with notes on the Releases page.

Inside Quinki

Home. One click to everything: your sessions, tasks, agents, market, settings and log, in a grid you can rearrange.

Sessions. Chats with your agents. Parallel sessions with visible delegation blocks, folders and notifications.

Agents Tasks. A calendar of agent work: scheduled jobs and running tasks, visible at a glance.

Agents. Create and manage your agents: prompts, tools, skills and models.

Market. Install skills, agents, tabs, MCP servers and themes from the built-in Market.

Settings. Providers and models, themes, remote access, app updates and more.

App Expert. The separate companion app: your in-house developer that reads Quinki code, makes changes, builds and installs.

Log. A live debug log, so you always see what the app is doing under the hood.

CLI. The whole Quinki in your terminal. Same sessions, agents and skills as the app.

CLI, slash menu. Type / for the command menu: same actions, same look as the app.

What is Quinki?

Quinki is a desktop app with tabs: chat with AI agents, schedule tasks, browse the Market, manage your agents, all in one place. Create your own tabs with the App Expert, publish them to the Market, and install community-built tools. Everything runs locally on your Mac.
