1. Create your Kendr account

1
Open the sign-up page
Go to kendr.org/signup and enter the email address you want to use with Kendr.
2
Request your code
Kendr emails a six-digit code. Keep the sign-up page open while you check your inbox.
3
Verify your email
Enter the code exactly as shown. The code is temporary; request a new one if it expires.
4
Finish your profile
Confirm your name and account details, then continue to your Kendr workspace.

Already have an account?

Use kendr.org/login. Enter your email, request a code, and verify it. You do not need to create another account.

Code did not arrive?

Check spam or filtered folders, confirm the email address, wait a minute, and request a fresh code. Only the newest code may remain valid.

2. Try Kendr Cloud

After sign-in, open Chat. This confirms your account works before you install anything.

1
Choose a model
Leave the recommended model selected for your first task, or open Models to compare the options available to your account.
2
Describe the outcome
Be specific about the result you need, the context Kendr should use, and the format you want back.
3
Review the response
Follow up in the same conversation to refine the answer. When a connected tool proposes an external action, review it before allowing it.

Summarize the attached project brief.
Return: (1) the goal, (2) five requirements, (3) unresolved questions,
and (4) a short action plan ordered by priority.

3. Download Kendr Desktop

While signed in, open Downloads & devices. Kendr shows the current installer or standalone build for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can also begin from the public download page.

Your computer	Choose	Then
Windows	The x64 installer for most PCs, or ARM64 when your Windows device uses an ARM processor.	Open the downloaded installer and follow the setup prompts.
macOS	Apple silicon for M-series Macs, or x64 for Intel Macs.	Open the disk image or installer and move Kendr to Applications when prompted.
Linux	The package or standalone archive that matches your distribution and CPU architecture.	Install the package with your system package manager, or extract the standalone archive.

Installer or standalone?

Choose the installer for the normal setup and update experience. Choose a standalone archive when you cannot install applications system-wide or want a portable copy.

4. Install and open the app

Finish the operating-system installation prompts, then open Kendr.
If your computer asks whether to allow the application, verify that you downloaded it from kendr.org before continuing.
Keep automatic updates enabled so fixes and new desktop capabilities arrive through the app.
If you used a standalone archive, extract the entire archive before launching the executable.
