Get started
Quickstart
Install Goatfied, open a repo, and ship your first AI edit.
1. Install
Grab the build for your platform from the download page. macOS, Windows and Linux are all supported. The desktop app is ~140 MB.
Don't want to install? Open Goat Build instead — same Composer and Chat surfaces, in your browser.
2. Sign in
On first launch, Goatfied opens a browser tab and signs you in via GitHub or email. You get a free tier — no credit card required.
3. Open a folder
Use ⌘O / Ctrl+O to open a folder. Goatfied indexes the repo in the background — a typical 50k-file repo takes under a minute and then auto-refreshes as you edit.
4. Try Goat-Tab
Open any file and start typing. Suggestions appear inline; press Tab to accept, Esc to dismiss, or just keep typing and the suggestion updates.
5. Try Composer
Hit ⌘K, describe the change you want ("add input validation and a 400 response when email is missing"), and Goatfied proposes a diff across whichever files it needs to touch. Review, tweak, accept.
6. Try Chat
Hit ⌘L to open chat. Ask questions, paste errors, @-mention files. Anything you ask is scoped to your repo unless you opt out.
You're done.
From here, learn how to mention files, set up repo rules, or kick off your first background agent.
