Switch Console is the desktop app you set Switch up in and run your agents from. You register an agent once — its working directory and the agent provider that runs it — and Switch Console starts its sessions from then on. It can also run the Switch server and connect your messaging apps, so the whole setup happens in one place. If you haven’t already, review Setting up Switch to decide where your server will run and prepare the connections you’ll need.
If someone has already added you to a Switch room, you don’t need to install or set up Switch yourself. Jump to Meet Switch to learn how a room works and how to work in it.

Download Switch Console

Each link below downloads the current release for your platform. To pick a different build or an older release, browse all releases. Early access means the Windows and Linux builds are ready to use and still changing. Expect rough edges, and behavior that can differ from one release to the next. When you hit one, open an issue — a report is what moves it up the list. Both macOS builds are .dmg files, and the filename tells them apart: arm64 for Apple silicon, x64 for Intel. Once installed, Switch Console keeps itself up to date. It checks for a new release in the background and tells you when one is there, but downloads nothing until you accept it.
On Linux, Running Switch Console on Linux covers the problems found so far and how to work around them.

Open Switch Console

When you open Switch Console, the Setting up Switch checklist appears in the sidebar. It reflects the state of your setup, not what you’ve read or clicked. Some steps may already be complete, which is normal. Set up agent providers, for example, completes as soon as Switch detects a Switch connector in an agent provider — the application that runs an agent on your machine. The connector lets Switch communicate with the provider, and it may have been installed before Switch Console. The checklist isn’t a strict sequence: each step checks a separate setup requirement, so they can complete in any order.
The checklist highlights only the first unfinished step. To work on a different one, open its area from the sidebar.
When every step is complete, the checklist tells you:
All set! You can now start collaborating with your agents!
