Quickstart

Five minutes from zero to your first Council Mode dispatch.

1. Install

Pick your OS on the download page or:

# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/hernaninverso/furx/releases/latest/download/Furx_0.2.0_aarch64.dmg -o ~/Downloads/Furx.dmg
open ~/Downloads/Furx.dmg

# Linux
sudo apt install ./furx_0.2.0_amd64.deb

# Windows — double-click the .msi

2. First launch

Furx opens directly into the Furx Connectwizard. You don't need to make any choices yet — every path is mix-and-match.

The wizard has six tabs:

3. Add your first key

Easiest path: OpenRouter Quick Start.

  1. Sign up at openrouter.ai, deposit $10.
  2. Copy your key (sk-or-v1-…).
  3. Paste in the wizard. Furx runs a 142ms health check, writes the key to your OS Keychain, and you're in.

Your key never leaves your machine. Furx talks directly to openrouter.ai over HTTPS; we never proxy.

4. Open your first pane

The main window is a 2×2 grid by default. Right-click a pane → pick a CLI: zsh, claude, codex, gemini, aider. Or hit ⌘K→ "new pane" → pick.

5. Dispatch Council Mode

  1. Hit ⌘J.
  2. Type your prompt. Example: "Write a Python function that validates an EU VAT number, including the EE country-specific checksum."
  3. Pick a preset: Quick (3 cheap LLMs), Frontier (Claude Opus + GPT-5 + Gemini 2.5), Cheapo (Cerebras + Groq + free tiers), Local (Ollama models only), or Mix.
  4. Watch the diff appear as voices return.
  5. Pick a winner with 1–6, or merge with M.

6. Set up audit + sync (optional, Pro)

If you want session replay across machines or cloud sync of .mcp.json: Settings → Account → sign in with the same email used in Paddle. Trial 14 days, no card.
