This is the page the Quick start panel inside the app points at. Same five steps, with the detail that did not fit in the panel.
Download the installer or the portable exe and run it. Windows will show a SmartScreen warning the first time, because the build is not signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. The download page explains why.
You need at least one agent installed to do anything useful. If you have none, skip ahead: MoveMyCode installs them for you in step 3.
MoveMyCode opens and asks for a folder. This is the only folder it will ever read or write. Pick the project you are working on, or press Make me a folder and it creates one under Documents.
You can open other folders later with Ctrl+O. Each folder remembers its own sessions, so switching back brings your panes back.
Start with a copy of something, or a folder you have committed to git. Agents ask before they change files, but a fast "yes" is easy to give, and a backup is easier to keep than to wish for.
Press Ctrl+N. The launcher lists the seven agents MoveMyCode knows about and marks which ones are installed on your computer. It checks through your own shell, so anything you installed with npm, bun or the vendor's installer shows up.
A missing agent opens a setup sheet with the official install command. Press Install it for me and the command runs in a terminal pane where you can watch it. When it finishes, the launcher updates without a restart.
Pick one and a pane opens with that agent running in a real terminal. The first time, it signs you in with its own account: Claude Code with your Claude account, Codex with ChatGPT, Antigravity with Google. There is no MoveMyCode account in the middle. Not sure which agent? Pick an agent compares them.
Type into the pane the way you would talk to a colleague who has your folder open. "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page." "Run the tests and fix whatever fails." "Read every CSV in data/ and tell me which customers cancelled in August." There are twelve more examples.
To dictate instead, press the microphone on the pane, talk, and press it again. The words land in the terminal as if you had typed them. The speech model ships with the app and runs on your machine, so this works with no key, no account and no network. Settings › Voice can switch to a cloud provider if you prefer.
While one agent works, press Ctrl+N again. A second pane opens beside the first. Panes tile across the window; drag the grip on a pane to reorder them, and use the ⤢ button to give one the whole window for a while.
When an agent wants to write a file, delete something or run a command, it stops and asks. MoveMyCode shows that as an amber Needs your OK card on the pane and in the sessions list, so you notice it from across the desk. Read what it wants to do, then answer in the pane. Nothing happens until you do. How permissions work goes deeper.
Close MoveMyCode whenever you like. Sessions come back on the next launch: editors reopen, terminals restart in their folder, and Claude sessions pick up the same conversation. The Library tab in the sidebar shows the agents, skills and MCP connections in this folder and on your computer; Settings (Ctrl+,) switches desks and voice providers.
